Q. Expand the logarithm fully using the properties of logs. Express the final answer in terms of logx,logy, and logz.logy4x53z4Answer:
Apply Quotient Rule: Apply the quotient rule of logarithms to the expression log(y4x53z4). Quotient rule of logarithm: log(ba)=log(a)−log(b)log(y4x53z4)=log(3z4)−log(y4x5)
Apply Product Rule: Apply the product rule of logarithms to the expression log(y4x5).Product rule of logarithm: log(a⋅b)=log(a)+log(b)log(y4x5)=log(y4)+log(x5)
Apply Power Rule: Apply the power rule of logarithms to the expressions log(3z4), log(y4), and log(x5). Power rule of logarithm: log(an)=n⋅log(a)log(3z4)=log(z34)=34⋅log(z)log(y4)=4⋅log(y)log(x5)=5⋅log(x)
Substitute Results: Substitute the results from Step 3 into the expression from Step 1.log(3z4)−log(y4x5)=34⋅log(z)−(4⋅log(y)+5⋅log(x))
Distribute Negative Sign: Distribute the negative sign to the terms inside the parenthesis.(34)⋅log(z)−(4⋅log(y)+5⋅log(x))=(34)⋅log(z)−4⋅log(y)−5⋅log(x)
