Question

How do you write $ {3^2} = 9 $ in logarithmic form?

Answer 1

Hint: In order to determine the value of the above question in logarithmic form ,use the definition of logarithm that the logarithm of the form $ {\log _b}x = y $ is when converted into exponential form is equivalent to $ {b^y} = x $ ,so compare with this form and form your $ {b^y} = x $ answer accordingly.

Complete step-by-step answer:
To solve the given question, we must know the properties of logarithms and with the help of them we are going to rewrite our question.
Any logarithmic form $ {\log _b}x = y $ when converted into equivalent exponential form results in
So in Our question we are given $ {3^2} = 9 $ and if compare this with $ {\log _b}x = y $ we get
 $
  b = 3 \\
  y = 2 \\
  x = 9 \;
  $
Hence the logarithmic form of $ {3^2} = 9 $ will be equivalent to $ {\log _3}9 = 2 $ .
Therefore, our desired answer is $ {\log _3}9 = 2 $ .
So, the correct answer is “ $ {\log _3}9 = 2 $ ”.

Note: 1. Value of the constant” e” is equal to 2.71828.
2. A logarithm is basically the reverse of a power or we can say when we calculate a logarithm of any number , we actually undo an exponentiation.
3.Any multiplication inside the logarithm can be transformed into addition of two separate logarithm values .
 $ {\log _b}(mn) = {\log _b}(m) + {\log _b}(n) $
4. Any division inside the logarithm can be transformed into subtraction of two separate logarithm values .
 $ {\log _b}(\dfrac{m}{n}) = {\log _b}(m) - {\log _b}(n) $
5. Any exponent value on anything inside the logarithm can be transformed and moved out of the logarithm as a multiplier and vice versa.
 $ n\log m = \log {m^n} $
