Step 1. Given Information.

The solution for $\log_{3} x = 9$ by Paul and Scott is below.

And who among Paul and Scott is correct is to be determined.

Step 2. Explanation.

The function $a = b^{c}$ is an exponential function and the equivalent logarithmic form is given by $c = \log_{b} a$ .

In Paul solving the equation, in the second step $\log_{3} x$ is directly replaced by $3^{x}$ which is not possible.

And the Scott’s solution is correct.

Step 3. Conclusion.

Hence, Scott is correct.
