Q. Expand the logarithm fully using the properties of logs. Express the final answer in terms of logx,logy, and logz.log3z4x5y4Answer:
Use Quotient Rule: Use the quotient rule for logarithms, which states that log(ba)=log(a)−log(b), to separate the numerator and the denominator.log(3z4x5y4)=log(x5y4)−log(3z4)
Apply Product Rule: Apply the product rule for logarithms, which states that log(ab)=log(a)+log(b), to the numerator.log(x5y4)=log(x5)+log(y4)
Use Power Rule: Use the power rule for logarithms, which states that log(an)=nlog(a), to take the exponents out in front of the logs.log(x5)+log(y4)=5log(x)+4log(y)
Apply Power Rule: Apply the power rule for logarithms to the denominator, noting that the cube root of z4 is z(4/3).log(3z4)=log(z4/3)
Combine Results: Again, use the power rule for logarithms to bring the exponent out in front of the log in the denominator.log(z34)=34⋅log(z)
Combine Results: Again, use the power rule for logarithms to bring the exponent out in front of the log in the denominator.log(z34)=34log(z)Combine the results from the numerator and the denominator using the result from the first step.log(3z4x5y4)=(5log(x)+4log(y))−34log(z)
