Q. Expand the logarithm fully using the properties of logs. Express the final answer in terms of logx, and logy.logx5yAnswer:
Identify Properties: Identify the properties used to expand logx5y. We will use the product property of logarithms to separate the terms, and the power property to bring down the exponent. Product property: logb(mn)=logb(m)+logb(n) Power property: logb(mn)=n⋅logb(m)
Apply Product Property: Apply the product property to logx5y. Using the product property, we can write logx5y as the sum of two logarithms: logx5+logy. logx5y=logx5+logy
Apply Power Property: Apply the power property to logx5. Using the power property, we can bring the exponent outside the logarithm: 5⋅logx. logx5=5⋅logx
Combine Results: Combine the results from Step 2 and Step 3.We have already separated logx5y into logx5+logy and expanded logx5 into 5×logx. Now we combine them to get the final expanded form.logx5y=5×logx+logy
