Problem Statement: We are asked to find the value of log327. The logarithm logba answers the question: "To what power must the base b be raised, to produce the number a?" In this case, we want to know to what power we must raise 3 to get 27.
Identifying the Power of 3: We know that 27 is a power of 3 because 33=27. This means that the exponent to which the base 3 must be raised to get 27 is 3.
Calculating the Logarithm: Therefore, log327 is equal to 3, because 3 raised to the power of 3 gives us 27.
