Q. Condense the logarithm2loga−8logbAnswer: log(□)
Apply power rule: We apply the power rule to each term: 2loga becomes log(a2) and 8logb becomes log(b8). log(a2)−log(b8)
Use quotient rule: Now we use the quotient rule of logarithms, which states that logb(x)−logb(y)=logb(yx), to combine the two logarithms into a single logarithm.log(b8a2)
Condense logarithm expression: We have successfully condensed the logarithm expression without any mathematical errors.
