Q. Expand the logarithm fully using the properties of logs. Express the final answer in terms of logx,logy, and logz.logyxz2Answer:
Identify Properties: Identify the properties used to expand log(yxz2). We will use the quotient property and the product property of logarithms to expand the given expression. Quotient Property: logb(QP)=logbP−logbQ Product Property: logb(PQ)=logbP+logbQ Power Property: logb(Pk)=k⋅logbP
Apply Quotient Property: Apply the quotient property to the given logarithm.Using the quotient property, we can separate the numerator and the denominator of the fraction inside the logarithm.log(yxz2)=log(xz2)−log(y)
Apply Product Property: Apply the product property to the logarithm of the numerator.Now we will separate the x and z2 terms using the product property.log(xz2)=log(x)+log(z2)
Apply Power Property: Apply the power property to the logarithm of z2. We will now apply the power property to the log(z2) term to bring down the exponent. log(z2)=2⋅log(z)
Combine Results: Combine the results from Steps 2, 3, and 4 to get the final expanded form.Substitute the expanded form of log(z2) from Step 4 into the equation from Step 3, and then combine it with the result from Step 2.log(yxz2)=(log(x)+2⋅log(z))−log(y)
Simplify Expression: Simplify the expression to get the final answer. log(yxz2)=log(x)+2⋅log(z)−log(y)
