Hey.. I need help with math could someone help me do these log questions? You're not allowed to use a calculator by the way.

9^(logbase0.25(2))

logbase0.75(9/16))

logbase1.02(1.03)

I hope you guys can read my notation, I don't know how else to write logs with bases.

When you have an equation which is "log base x of y," the way to look at it is this: What power of x is y? As a simple example, what would the log base 7 of 343 be? Since 7^3 = 343, the answer is 3 (the exponent of the base).

For problem #2, the base is 3/4, so the question is, what power of 3/4 would give me 9/16? The answer is 2: (3/4)^2 = 9/16.

Have fun with the others...

Ahh thanks... But the others I still do not know how to do. I'll think about them though... anyone else know how to do the others?
