You can  put this solution on YOUR website! log base1/3 p < 0  
1. Is there a sign flip? 
2. Well, the base is less than one and now what do I do? 
*** 
in exponential form, this reads: base(1/3) raised to negative number=p 
say, use -1 as the negative number: 
(1/3)^-1=p 
1/(1/3)=p 
3=p 
yes, there is a sign flip
