Identify Properties: Identify the properties used to expand the logarithms.The first term (21)log(x) suggests the use of the power property of logarithms, which states that logb(an)=nlogb(a). The second term 2log(3) also suggests the use of the power property.
Apply Power Property 1/2: Apply the power property to the first term 1/2log(x). According to the power property, we can move the coefficient inside the logarithm as an exponent of the argument. Therefore, 1/2log(x) becomes \(\newline\log(x^{1/2})\).
Apply Power Property (2): Apply the power property to the second term 2log(3). Similarly, we can move the coefficient inside the logarithm as an exponent of the argument. Therefore, 2log(3) becomes log(32).
Simplify Expressions: Simplify the expressions inside the logarithms.x21 is the square root of x, and 32 is 9. So, log(x21) becomes log(x), and log(32) becomes log(9).
Write Final Form: Write the final expanded form of the logarithm.The expanded form of the logarithm is log(x)+log(9).
