Question 809698: What is the exact value of this expression?
Log base 9 of 1/3
I want to know if the process I did is correct.
Since the 1/3 is division, you have to separate from with subtraction.
So I put down
log base 9 1- log base 9 3 then i combined to a single log and got log base 9 (1-3)

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
log base 9 of 1/3
using definition of logarithm of division
log base 9 of 1 - log base 9 of 3 = -.5
you can not combine to a single log in this case, since the log of any negative number is not defined
