And if you follow the suggestion made by galactus, you should be able to figure it out, too! 32 = 25 log9 32 = log9 25 And there's a rule for logs which says logb an = n*logb a Ok....now, you should be able to finish it.... If you are still having trouble, please show us what you've done, so we can see where you need further help.
