Q. Express the given expression as an integer or as a fraction in simplest form.(9log918+log94)Answer:
Combine logarithms: Apply the property of logarithms that states logb(m)+logb(n)=logb(m∗n). So, we combine the logarithms in the exponent. (9log918+log94)=9log9(18∗4)
Calculate product: Calculate the product inside the logarithm.18×4=72So, the expression becomes 9log972.
Simplify expression: Apply the property of logarithms that states blogb(m)=m. Since the base of the logarithm and the base of the exponent are the same (9), we can simplify the expression to just the argument of the logarithm. 9log972=72
