Q. Expand the logarithm fully using the properties of logs. Express the final answer in terms of logx,logy, and logz.logy4zx2Answer:
Apply Quotient Rule: Apply the quotient rule of logarithms to the expression log(y4zx2). Quotient rule of logarithm: log(ba)=log(a)−log(b)log(y4zx2)=log(zx2)−log(y4)
Apply Product Rule: Apply the product rule of logarithms to the term log(zx2).Product rule of logarithm: log(a⋅b)=log(a)+log(b)log(zx2)=log(z)+log(x2)
Apply Power Rule: Apply the power rule of logarithms to the terms log(x2) and log(y4).Power rule of logarithm: log(an)=n⋅log(a)log(x2)=2⋅log(x)log(y4)=4⋅log(y)
Substitute Results: Substitute the results from Step 3 back into the equation from Step 1.log(y4zx2)=log(z)+2⋅log(x)−4⋅log(y)
Distribute and Simplify: Distribute the negative sign to 4⋅log(y) and simplify the expression.log(y4zx2)=log(z)+2⋅log(x)−4⋅log(y)
