Recognize Properties: Recognize the properties of logarithms that can be applied to simplify the expression.The properties of logarithms that are relevant here are:- The Power Rule: logb(ac)=clogb(a)Using this property, we can take the coefficients in front of the logarithms and turn them into exponents inside the logarithms.
Apply Power Rule: Apply the Power Rule to the given expression.We have 2log6u−8log6v, which can be rewritten using the Power Rule as:log6(u2)−log6(v8)
Combine Using Quotient Rule: Combine the two logarithms into a single logarithm using the Quotient Rule.The Quotient Rule for logarithms states that logb(a)−logb(c)=logb(ca).Applying this rule to our expression gives us:log6(v8u2)
Check for Simplifications: Check for any possible simplifications of the expression inside the logarithm. In this case, there are no further simplifications that can be made to the expression u2/v8.
