Answer

32\frac{3}{2}

Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Rewrite the expression inside the logarithm in terms of base 3.

    We have 333\sqrt{3}.
    Recall that 3=31/2\sqrt{3} = 3^{1/2}.
    So, 33=31×31/23\sqrt{3} = 3^1 \times 3^{1/2}.

  2. Use the exponent rule am×an=am+na^m \times a^n = a^{m+n} to combine the terms.

    31×31/2=31+12=322+12=3323^1 \times 3^{1/2} = 3^{1 + \frac{1}{2}} = 3^{\frac{2}{2} + \frac{1}{2}} = 3^{\frac{3}{2}}
  3. Substitute this back into the original logarithm equation.

    log⁡3(332)=x\log_3 (3^{\frac{3}{2}}) = x
  4. Use the logarithm property log⁡b(bn)=n\log_b (b^n) = n.

    In this case, b=3b=3 and n=32n=\frac{3}{2}.
    Therefore,

    x=32x = \frac{3}{2}

    The value of xx is:

    32\frac{3}{2}
