Use log_b (m/n)=log_b m - log_b n, nlog_b a =log_b(a^n)logb(mn)=logbm−logbn,nlogba=logb(an) and
log_b a = log a/log b = ln a/ln blogba=logalogb=lnalnb.
Here, (1/3)log_2 27-log_2 9=log_2(27^(1/3)) - log_2 9(13)log227−log29=log2(2713)−log29
=log_2 3 - log_2 9=log_2(3/9)=log_2(1/3)=log23−log29=log2(39)=log2(13)
=-log_2 3=-log 3/log 2=-ln 3/ln 2=-1.585=−log23=−log3log2=−ln3ln2=−1.585, nearly
