Question

Which logarithmic equation is equivalent to 32 = 9?

Answer 1

To answer this problem, we should always remember that:

x^m = y

is equivalent to

logx(y) = m

Therefore using this formula in the given expression above where:

x = 3

m = 3

y = 9

Then,

log3(9) = 2

Answer: A

Answer 2

Answer:

$2=log_3(9)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given exponential equation is

$3^2=9$

We take the logarithm of both sides to base 3 to obtain;

$log_3(3^2)=log_3(9)$

Recall that;

$log_a(a^n)=n\:log_a(a)=n$

We apply this property to the left hand side to obtain;

$2log_3(3)=log_3(9)$

$2(1)=log_3(9)$

This simplifies to

$2=log_3(9)$

The correct answer is option A
