Q. Write the expression below as a single logarithm in simplest form.2logb3Answer: logb(□)
Question Prompt: Question Prompt: Write the expression 2logb3 as a single logarithm in simplest form.
Identify Property: Identify the property used to write the expression as a single logarithm.The expression 2logb3 involves a logarithm with a coefficient. To write this as a single logarithm, we use the power property of logarithms.Power Property: alogb(P)=logb(Pa)
Apply Property: Apply the power property to the given expression.Using the power property, we can move the coefficient 2 inside the logarithm as an exponent of the argument.2logb3=logb(32)
Calculate Exponent: Calculate the exponent.32=9So, logb(32) becomes logb(9).
Write Final Answer: Write the final answer.The expression 2logb3 written as a single logarithm in simplest form is logb(9).
