Math Problem Statement

Nilai dari log_3 81 + log_3 (1/9) adalah....

Solution

The problem in the image asks for the value of:

log381+log3(19)\log_3 81 + \log_3 \left( \frac{1}{9} \right)

We will solve it step by step:

  1. Evaluate log381\log_3 81:

    8181 can be rewritten as 81=3481 = 3^4. Therefore,

    log381=log3(34)=4\log_3 81 = \log_3 (3^4) = 4

  2. Evaluate log3(19)\log_3 \left( \frac{1}{9} \right):

    19\frac{1}{9} can be rewritten as 919^{-1}, and 9=329 = 3^2, so:

    log3(19)=log3(32)=2\log_3 \left( \frac{1}{9} \right) = \log_3 (3^{-2}) = -2

  3. Sum the results:

    log381+log3(19)=4+(2)=2\log_3 81 + \log_3 \left( \frac{1}{9} \right) = 4 + (-2) = 2

Thus, the correct answer is c. 2.
