Identify the logarithmic property that applies to the sum of two logarithms with the same base. Recall that \(\log_b A + \log_b B = \log_b (A \times B)\).
Apply this property to the given expression \(\log_3 4 + \log_3 9\), rewriting it as a single logarithm: \(\log_3 (4 \times 9)\).
Multiply the numbers inside the logarithm: calculate \(4 \times 9\) to get the product inside the logarithm.
Rewrite the expression as \(\log_3\) of the product found in the previous step.
Check if the argument inside the logarithm can be simplified further by factoring or recognizing perfect powers, but in this case, the product itself is the simplest form.
