Question 964056: Mental math evaluation the logarithms log3 1/27
Answer by Theo(13342)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! L3(1/27) = y if and only if 3^y = 1/27
1/27 is equal to 1/3^3 which is equal to 3^(-3)
3^y = 3^(-3) if and only if y = -3.
therefore L3(1/27) = -3.
L3 means log to the base of 3.
you get L3(1/27) = -3 if and only if 3^(-3) = 1/27
since 3^(-3) = 1/3^3 and since 1/3^3 = 1/27, then the solution is confirmed.
