Question 7 • Mathematics III

What is the value of the log base 27 of 9 ?

Answer
A
negative 3 halves
B
3 halves
C
negative 2 thirds
D
2 thirds

Explanation

Rewrite both numbers as powers of 3: 27 = 3³ and 9 = 3². If x = log base 27 of 9, then (3³)ˣ = 3², so 3x = 2 and x = 2/3. The value is two thirds, choice A.
