logb343 = -3/2
In exponential notation: b-3/2 = 343
Since 343 = 73 ---> b-3/2 = 73
---> b3/2 = 7-3 Take the -1 power of both sides.
---> b3/2 = (1/7)3 Rewriting 7-3
---> b3 = [ ( 1/7)3 ]2 Squaring both sides
---> b3 = ( 1/7)6 Power to a power --> multiply exponents
---> b = [ ( 1/7)6 ]1/3 Take the cube root of both sides
---> b = (1/7)2 Power to a power --> multiply exponents
---> b = 1/49 Simplify
