Identify Logarithmic Expression: Question prompt: What is the condensed form of the logarithmic expression ylogd−logx?
Apply Power Rule: Apply the power rule of logarithms to the term ylogd, which states that logb(ac)=clogb(a). Here, we rewrite ylogd as log(dy).
Use Quotient Rule: Use the quotient rule of logarithms, which states that logb(a)−logb(c)=logb(ca), to combine the two logarithmic terms.We have log(dy)−logx, which can be written as log(xdy).
Check for Simplifications: Check for any possible simplifications of the expression inside the logarithm. In this case, there are no further simplifications, so the expression log(xdy) is already in its simplest form.
