Question 940351
I'm having trouble understanding logarithms to a base that's not 10. For example, a homework question is {{{ log (3, 27t^2) }}}. I'm asked to simplify fully without using a calculator. I've gone as far as {{{ log (3, (3^3)t^2) }}}, but I get stuck there, and I'm not even sure I'm on the right path.
<pre>
{{{log (3, 27t^2)}}}
{{{log (3, 27) + log (3, t^2)}}}
{{{log (3, 3^3) + 2 * log (3, t)}}}
{{{highlight_green(3 + 2log (3, (t)))}}}
