Capitolo 5, Problema 27
Use properties of logarithms to expand each logarithmic expression as much as possible. Where possible, evaluate logarithmic expressions without using a calculator. logb ((x2y)/z2)
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Recall the logarithmic property for a quotient: \(\log_b \left( \frac{M}{N} \right) = \log_b M - \log_b N\). Apply this to the given expression to separate the numerator and denominator inside the logarithm.
Use the logarithmic property for a product: \(\log_b (MN) = \log_b M + \log_b N\). Apply this to the numerator \(x^2 y\) to split it into two separate logarithms.
Apply the power rule of logarithms: \(\log_b (M^k) = k \log_b M\). Use this to bring down the exponents in the terms \(x^2\) and \(z^2\).
Rewrite the expression by combining all the steps: express the original logarithm as a sum and difference of logarithms with coefficients representing the exponents.
Check if any terms can be simplified further or evaluated without a calculator, such as logarithms of 1 or other known values.

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.
Properties of Logarithms
Properties of logarithms include the product, quotient, and power rules, which allow the expansion or simplification of logarithmic expressions. For example, log_b(MN) = log_b(M) + log_b(N), log_b(M/N) = log_b(M) - log_b(N), and log_b(M^k) = k·log_b(M). These rules are essential for breaking down complex expressions into simpler parts.
