What is the value of log3 (-9)?
Read Solution (Total 3)
-
- log3 (-9)
Split -9 into 9*(-1).
=> log3(9)(-1)
=>log3(3^2)(-1)
Logarithmic rule says the power inside the bracket will come in front of log.
=> 2log3(3)(-1)
Another logarithmic rule says that when the base and the number are same then the log term cancels out.
=> 2(-1)
=> -2.
Thus , the ans is -2. - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(2)
- log3(-9)= log3+log(-9)
=log3+log(3^2*-1)
=log3+log(3^2)+log(-1)
=3log3+log(i^2)
=3log3+2logi - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(3)
