Q. Write the expression as a single logarithm.\newline7logcx14logcw+2logcz 7 \log _{c} x-\frac{1}{4} \log _{c} w+2 \log _{c} z
  1. Apply Power Rule: We are given the expression 7logcx14logcw+2logcz7\log_{c}x - \frac{1}{4}\log_{c}w + 2\log_{c}z. To combine these logarithms into a single logarithm, we will use the logarithm properties: the power rule, which states that alogb(x)=logb(xa)a\log_{b}(x) = \log_{b}(x^{a}), and the product and quotient rules, which state that logb(x)+logb(y)=logb(xy)\log_{b}(x) + \log_{b}(y) = \log_{b}(xy) and logb(x)logb(y)=logb(x/y)\log_{b}(x) - \log_{b}(y) = \log_{b}(x/y), respectively.
  2. Rewrite Using Rules: First, apply the power rule to each term to move the coefficients inside the logarithms as exponents of the arguments.\newline7logcx7\log_{c}x becomes logc(x7)\log_{c}(x^7)\newline(1/4)logcw(1/4)\log_{c}w becomes logc(w1/4)\log_{c}(w^{1/4})\newline2logcz2\log_{c}z becomes logc(z2)\log_{c}(z^2)
  3. Combine Terms: Now, rewrite the expression using the product and quotient rules.\newlinelogc(x7)logc(w14)+logc(z2)\log_{c}(x^7) - \log_{c}(w^{\frac{1}{4}}) + \log_{c}(z^2)\newlineAccording to the product rule, we can combine the terms with addition into a single logarithm with a product inside.\newlinelogc(x7z2)\log_{c}(x^7 \cdot z^2)\newlineAnd according to the quotient rule, we can combine the term with subtraction into a single logarithm with a quotient inside.\newlinelogc(x7z2w14)\log_{c}\left(\frac{x^7 \cdot z^2}{w^{\frac{1}{4}}}\right)
  4. Final Answer: The expression is now simplified to a single logarithm: logc(x7z2w14)\log_{c}\left(\frac{x^{7} \cdot z^{2}}{w^{\frac{1}{4}}}\right) This is the final answer.
