Q. Write the expression as a single logarithm.7logcx−41logcw+2logcz
Apply Power Rule: We are given the expression 7logcx−41logcw+2logcz. To combine these logarithms into a single logarithm, we will use the logarithm properties: the power rule, which states that alogb(x)=logb(xa), and the product and quotient rules, which state that logb(x)+logb(y)=logb(xy) and logb(x)−logb(y)=logb(x/y), respectively.
Rewrite Using Rules: First, apply the power rule to each term to move the coefficients inside the logarithms as exponents of the arguments.7logcx becomes logc(x7)(1/4)logcw becomes logc(w1/4)2logcz becomes logc(z2)
Combine Terms: Now, rewrite the expression using the product and quotient rules.logc(x7)−logc(w41)+logc(z2)According to the product rule, we can combine the terms with addition into a single logarithm with a product inside.logc(x7⋅z2)And according to the quotient rule, we can combine the term with subtraction into a single logarithm with a quotient inside.logc(w41x7⋅z2)
Final Answer: The expression is now simplified to a single logarithm: logc(w41x7⋅z2) This is the final answer.
