Answer: The value is
(1)/(4).

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the value of the following logarithmic expression.


E=\log_(81)3.

We will be using the following logarithmic properties:


(i)~\log_ba=(\log a)/(\log b),\\\\(ii)~\log a^b=b\log a.

The solution is as follows:


E\\\\=\log_(81)3\\\\\\=(\log 3)/(\log 81)\\\\\\=(\log 3)/(\log 3^4)\\\\\\=(\log 3)/(4\log 3)\\\\\\=(1)/(4).

Thus, the required value of the given expression is
(1)/(4).
