Q. Expand the logarithm fully using the properties of logs. Express the final answer in terms of logx,logy, and logz.logzy23xAnswer:
Apply Quotient Rule: Apply the quotient rule of logarithms to the expression log(zy23x). Quotient rule of logarithm: log(ba)=log(a)−log(b)log(zy23x)=log(3x)−log(zy2)
Apply Cube Root Property: Apply the cube root property to the logarithm log(3x).Cube root property: log(3a)=31⋅log(a)log(3x)=31⋅log(x)
Apply Product Rule: Apply the product rule of logarithms to the expression log(zy2).Product rule of logarithm: log(a⋅b)=log(a)+log(b)log(zy2)=log(z)+log(y2)
Apply Power Rule: Apply the power rule to the logarithm log(y2).Power rule of logarithm: log(ab)=b×log(a)log(y2)=2×log(y)
Combine and Distribute: Combine the results from Steps 1 to 4 to get the final expanded form.log(zy23x)=31⋅log(x)−(log(z)+2⋅log(y))Distribute the negative sign:log(zy23x)=31⋅log(x)−log(z)−2⋅log(y)
