Solve the equation: log3 ( x^9) =12

X = 4.326748711
To solve this, raise 3 to the 12th power, and solve for x. 
log3(x^9)=12
Take the number in front of the log, 3
Raise it to the number on the other side of the equation, 12
Set that equal to the expression in parentheses
So, we have 3^12=x^9
Solve it like a normal equation by simplifying
3^12= 531441, so
531441=x^9
to get x by itself, take the 9th root of both sides. If you're using a TI-84, you can do this by going to MATH>5 and then typing in the root 
x = 4.326748711

1. y=32. x=-13. n=-40
