Q. Expand the logarithm fully using the properties of logs. Express the final answer in terms of logx, and logy.logx2y4Answer:
Identify Properties: Identify the properties used to expand log(x2y4). We will use the product property of logarithms to separate the terms and the power property to bring down the exponents. Product property: logb(mn)=logb(m)+logb(n) Power property: logb(mn)=n⋅logb(m)
Apply Product Property: Apply the product property to log(x2y4). Using the product property, we can write log(x2y4) as the sum of two logs: log(x2)+log(y4). log(x2y4)=log(x2)+log(y4)
Apply Power Property: Apply the power property to both log(x2) and log(y4). Using the power property, we can bring the exponents out in front of the logs: log(x2)=2×log(x)log(y4)=4×log(y)
Combine Results: Combine the results from Step 3 to get the final expanded form.The final expanded form of the logarithm is the sum of the results from Step 3:log(x2y4)=2⋅log(x)+4⋅log(y)
