log%283%2C+%289%29%29
This is easy if you understand what logarithms are. In general, logarithms are exponents. Base 3 logarithms, like the one in this problem, are exponents one would put on a 3. This specific logarithm, log%283%2C+%289%29%29, is the exponent one would put on a 3 to get a result of 9. So what power of 3 results in 9? The answer to that question is what log%283%2C+%289%29%29 is equal to.
