Q. Condense the logarithm8logc−4logdAnswer: log(□)
Apply Power Rule: We are given the expression 8logc−4logd and we need to condense it into a single logarithm.According to the power rule of logarithms, alogb(x)=logb(xa), we can apply this rule to both terms.
Combine Terms: Apply the power rule to the first term: 8logc becomes log(c8). Apply the power rule to the second term: 4logd becomes log(d4).
Apply Quotient Rule: Now we have log(c8)−log(d4). According to the quotient rule of logarithms, logb(x)−logb(y)=logb(yx), we can combine these two logarithms into one.
Final Condensed Form: Combine the two logarithms using the quotient rule: log(c8)−log(d4) becomes log(d4c8).
Final Condensed Form: Combine the two logarithms using the quotient rule: log(c8)−log(d4) becomes log(d4c8).The expression is now fully condensed into a single logarithm.
