Q. Expand the logarithm fully using the properties of logs. Express the final answer in terms of logx, and logy.logx3y4Answer:
Identify Properties: Identify the properties used to expand logx3y4.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 logx3y4. Using the product property, we can write logx3y4 as the sum of two logarithms: logx3+logy4. logx3y4=logx3+logy4
Apply Power Property: Apply the power property to both logx3 and logy4. Using the power property, we can bring the exponents out in front of the logarithms: logx3=3⋅logxlogy4=4⋅logy
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 two terms we found:3⋅logx+4⋅logy
