Answer

$\dfrac{1}{3} \log_3 x-4$

Work Step by Step

Recall the log rules: (a) $\log_b{\dfrac{p}{q}}=\log_b{p} - \log_b{q}$ (Quotient Rule). (b) $\log{a^n}=n \log x $ (c) $\log_a{a^x}=x $ Use the rule (a) with $ p=\sqrt[3] x $ and $ q=81$ to obtain $\log_3 \dfrac{\sqrt[3] x}{81}=\log_3 x^{1/3}-\log_3 81$ Simplify the second term by applying rules (b) and (c) to obtain: $ \log_3 x^{1/3}-\log_3 3^4=\dfrac{1}{3} \log_3 x-4$
