To expand the logarithm \( \log_3(h^9) \), we can use the properties of logarithms.
- The first property we can use is that \( \log_a(b^n) = n \cdot \log_a(b) \).
Applying this to \( \log_3(h^9) \):
\[ \log_3(h^9) = 9 \cdot \log_3(h) \]
Thus, the expanded form of \( \log_3(h^9) \) is:
\[ 9 \log_3(h) \]
Since this form does not appear in your provided responses, none of the responses seem to be correct based on the standard expansion method of logarithms. If you meant a different expression or have specific options that were meant to answer the expansion, please clarify!
