Given the function f(x)={3x,−x31,(x>0)(x⩽0), find the value of f(log34).
A number or a short expression. Spacing and $ signs are ignored.
Solution
Since log34>0, we use the first part of the piecewise function: f(x)=3x Thus, f(log34)=3log34 Using the property of logarithms that says alogan=n, we get: f(log34)=3log34=4 Therefore, the answer is 4.
