How to Expand Logarithms Using the Product Property?
- Start with a logarithm of a product, such as \(\log_b(xy)\).
- Use the product property of logarithms, which states \(\log_b(xy) = \log_b(x) + \log_b(y)\).
- Separate the logarithm into the sum of logarithms of each factor involved in the product.
- Expand the logarithmic expression by writing it as a sum of simpler logarithmic terms, facilitating easier calculation and manipulation.
