3 x = 81 log 3 x = log 3 4 x log 3 = 4 log 3 x = 4 x 3 = 4 3 = 64 \large 3^x = 81 \\ \log 3^x = \log 3^4 \\ x\log 3 = 4 \log 3 \\ x = 4 \\ \therefore x^3 = 4^3 =\huge\boxed{64}

Since 3 x = 81 3^x = 81 and 81 = 9 2 = ( 3 2 ) 2 = 3 4 81 = 9^2 = (3^2)^2 = 3^4

3 x = 3 4 3^x = 3^4

x = 4 x = 4

4 3 = 4 4 4 = 16 4 = 64 4 ^ 3 = 4 \cdot 4 \cdot 4 = 16 \cdot 4 = 64

The answer is 64 64

3 to the power of 4 is 81, so x=4 Then substitute 4 into the equation x^3.

When 4^3, we get 64.

Easy as pie, INTELLIGENT minds not necessary here.

3^x=81,

But, we know

3^4=81

So,

x=4

Now,

4^3=64

3^x = 81 = 3^4 x = 4 So, 4^3 = 64

No need of any intelligent minds to solve this question!!
