Math Problem Statement
Evaluate 81 log₉3 ÷ 36 log₉6 without using a table or calculator.
Solution
To evaluate the expression given in the image:
we can simplify this step-by-step without using a calculator, focusing on properties of logarithms and the values involved.
Step 1: Simplify
Since is the logarithm with base 9 of 3, we can rewrite it in terms of base conversion if needed, but first, let's evaluate the constants.
- Notice that , which implies that , because .
- Therefore, .
Step 2: Simplify
Similarly, would require us to evaluate how 6 relates to the base 9. We can write in terms of powers of 3 for simplicity.
