LOGging X

Algebra Level 2

Solve for x x over the reals:

log 3 ( log 2 ( log 3 ( x ) ) = 0 \log_3(\log_2(\log_3(x)) = 0


The answer is 9.

log 3 ( log 2 ( log 3 x ) ) = 0 \log _{ 3 }{ \left( \log _{ 2 }{ \left( \log _{ 3 }{ x } \right) } \right) } = 0

3 0 = log 2 ( log 3 x ) \implies \quad { 3 }^{ 0 } = \log _{ 2 }{ \left( \log _{ 3 }{ x } \right) }

2 1 = log 3 x \implies \quad { 2 }^{ 1 } = \log _{ 3 }{ x }

x = 3 2 = 9 \implies \quad x = { 3 }^{ 2 } =\boxed{ \large{ 9}}

i also solved in the same way. because logarithm is defined as a number to which base is raised to the power

log 3 ( log 2 ( log 3 ( x ) ) = 0 \log_3 (\log_2(\log_3 (x)) = 0 log 3 ( log 2 ( log 3 ( x ) ) = log 3 ( 1 ) \implies \log_3 (\log_2(\log_3 (x)) = \log_3 (1) log 2 ( log 3 ( x ) ) = 1 \implies \log_2 (\log_3 (x)) = 1 log 2 ( log 3 ( x ) ) = log 2 ( 2 ) \implies \log_2 (\log_3 (x)) = \log_2 (2) log 3 ( x ) = 2 \implies \log_3 (x) = 2 x = 3 2 x = 9 \implies x = 3^{2} \implies x = 9

Therefore, x x equals 9 \boxed {9}

first, change the first logarithm with a base of 3 into exponential form. The result will be like this. then, do the same process to second logarithm. and it will be like this. with that, you can now get the value of x by changing it into exponential form again and came up with the answer x = 9.
