... approximation of the answer, it is not readily available because log 3 is not one of the two log buttons on calculators. We’d have to convert the base 3 logarithm to something our calculators can handle. ... logarithms can be derived from the properties of exponentials and the inverse relation between logarithms and exponentials. We know that if f and g are inverse functions,...
