What is the log of 18 to the base 3√2?

Think it through first, then pick an option.

  1. a 2
  2. b 3
  3. c 4
  4. d 9
Answer and explanation

Correct answer: a 2

(3√2)² = 9 × 2 = 18, so the log is 2.

Why the other options are wrong

  • b 3: (3√2)³ = 54√2, not 18. The correct answer is 2.
  • c 4: (3√2)⁴ = 324, not 18. The correct answer is 2.
  • d 9: (3√2)⁹ is far too large; 9 is not the log.
