Q. Expand the logarithm fully using the properties of logs. Express the final answer in terms of logx,logy, and logz.log3yzx3Answer:
Apply Quotient Rule: Apply the quotient rule of logarithms to the expression log(3yzx3).Quotient rule of logarithm: log(ba)=log(a)−log(b)log(3yzx3)=log(zx3)−log(3y)
Apply Product Rule: Apply the product rule of logarithms to the term log(zx3).Product rule of logarithm: log(a⋅b)=log(a)+log(b)log(zx3)=log(z)+log(x3)
Apply Power Rule: Apply the power rule of logarithms to the term log(x3).Power rule of logarithm: log(an)=n⋅log(a)log(x3)=3⋅log(x)
Apply Power Rule: Apply the power rule of logarithms to the term log(3y). Since 3y is y to the power of 31, we can write: log(3y)=log(y31) Then apply the power rule: log(y31)=31⋅log(y)
Combine Results: Combine the results from Steps 1 to 4 to get the final expanded form.log(3yzx3)=log(z)+log(x3)−log(3y)Substitute the results from Steps 3 and 4:log(3yzx3)=log(z)+3⋅log(x)−(31)⋅log(y)
