Math Problem Statement

log_9 9^(log_3 3^3) = x

Solution

The equation shown is:

log99log333=x\log_9 9^{\log_3 3^3} = x

Step-by-step solution:

  1. Simplify the exponent log333\log_3 3^3:

    log333=3\log_3 3^3 = 3 This is because the logarithmic property logbbx=x\log_b b^x = x tells us that the exponent "pops out" of the logarithm when the base is the same.

    So, the equation becomes:

    log993=x\log_9 9^3 = x

  2. Simplify log993\log_9 9^3:

    Using the same logarithmic property logbbx=x\log_b b^x = x:

    log993=3\log_9 9^3 = 3

Thus, the equation simplifies to:

x=3x = 3

Final Answer:

x=3x = 3
