log81 1/9= need help with this
If it is log 81 base 1/9=x, then you can make the following equation(1/9)^x=81x=-2 in this case since 9 squared is 81 and you need to flip the fraction so you add a negative,Hope this helps.
\(log_{81}(\frac{1}9})\)\(81^{x} = \frac{1}{9}\)\(ln(81^{x}) = ln(\frac{1}{9})\)\(x\ln(81) = ln(\frac{1}{9})\)\(\frac{x\ln(81)}{ln(81)} = \frac{ln(\frac{1}{9})}{ln(81)}\)\(x = \frac{ln(\frac{1}{3})^{2}}{ln(3)^{4}}\)\(x = \frac{2ln(\frac{1}{3})}{4ln(3)}\)\(x = \frac{ln(\frac{1}{3})}{2ln(3)}\)\(x = \frac{-ln(3)}{2ln(3)}\)\(x = -\frac{1}{2}\)
