[NEHA]

Find:

log_3 24

i did
the power that 3 mmust be raised to in order to get 24 is..24 is 2.9 because 3^2.9 eqauls 24..not exactly but still

3^2.9 = 24.19087842

so
log_3 24 = 2.9
that can be the answer i suppose

What method is your book expecting you to use? Change-of-base and then apply the calculator? Guess-n-check for a one-decimal-place approximation?

Please reply with a clear statement of the instructions and/or the methods the book and class gave you. Thank you.
