Q. Expand the logarithm fully using the properties of logs. Express the final answer in terms of logx, and logy.logx5y2Answer:
Identify Properties: Identify the properties used to expand log(x5⋅y2). We will use the product property and the power property of logarithms to expand the given expression. Product property: logb(m⋅n)=logb(m)+logb(n) Power property: logb(mn)=n⋅logb(m)
Apply Product Property: Apply the product property to log(x5⋅y2). Using the product property, we can separate the logarithm of the product into the sum of the logarithms of the individual factors. log(x5⋅y2)=log(x5)+log(y2)
Apply Power Property: Apply the power property to each logarithm.Now we apply the power property to both log(x5) and log(y2) to bring the exponents out in front of the logarithms.log(x5)=5⋅log(x)log(y2)=2⋅log(y)
Combine Results: Combine the results from Step 3 to get the final expanded form.Combining the results from Step 3, we get:log(x5⋅y2)=5⋅log(x)+2⋅log(y)
