Answer:

the power of 3 is the log, base 3, of the number

Explanation:

The relationship between powers and logarithms is ...

y = 3^x

x = log₃(y) = log(y)/log(3)

__

For example, if you want 5 as a power of 3, that power will be ...

log(5)/log(3) = 0.69897/0.47712 = 1.46497

That is, ...

5 = 3^1.46497
