Please write the following, with steps, in logarithimic form
3^-2 = 1/9
----------------
Log means "exponent" or "power".
Your problem:
The exponent, or log, is -2
The base is 3
The inverse log or anti-log is 1/9
----------------------
Write log = -2
Put in the base
log(base3)? =-2
Put in the result or inverse log
log(base3) (1/9) = -2
