Training Memo: Recalling Logarithmic Conversions for Data Models

As a senior data technician, you are drafting a brief standard operating procedure (SOP) from memory for newly hired analysts. The new hires need to calculate values for three specific logarithmic equations used in the company's scaling models: logx81=2\log_x 81 = 2, log3x=5\log_3 x = 5, and log13127=x\log_{\frac{1}{3}} \frac{1}{27} = x.

Write out the exact, step-by-step procedure to solve these three equations by converting each into its corresponding exponential form. In your explanation for the first equation, you must explicitly recall and state the mathematical rule regarding logarithmic bases that dictates why 9-9 is rejected as a valid solution.
