In Exercises 125–128, determine whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement.
log749log77=log749log77\(\frac{log_749}{log_77}\)=log_749-log_77

Recall the logarithm property for division: \( \frac{\log_b A}{\log_b B} \) is not equal to \( \log_b A - \log_b B \). Instead, the subtraction property applies to logarithms of products or quotients inside the log, such as \( \log_b \frac{A}{B} = \log_b A - \log_b B \).
Evaluate the left side expression \( \frac{\log_7 49}{\log_7 7} \). Since \( \log_7 7 = 1 \), this simplifies to \( \log_7 49 \).
Evaluate the right side expression \( \log_7 49 - \log_7 7 \). Using the subtraction property of logarithms, this equals \( \log_7 \frac{49}{7} = \log_7 7 \).
Compare the simplified left side \( \log_7 49 \) and right side \( \log_7 7 \). Since \( 49 \neq 7 \), the two sides are not equal, so the original statement is false.
To make the statement true, replace the division on the left side with subtraction inside the logarithm: \( \frac{\log_7 49}{\log_7 7} \) should be replaced by \( \log_7 \frac{49}{7} \), so the true statement is \( \log_7 \frac{49}{7} = \log_7 49 - \log_7 7 \).

Quotient Rule for Logarithms

The quotient rule states that the logarithm of a quotient is the difference of the logarithms: log_b(A/B) = log_b(A) - log_b(B). This rule is essential for rewriting and simplifying expressions involving division inside a logarithm.

Evaluating Logarithms with Known Bases and Arguments

Evaluating logarithms like log7 49 and log7 7 involves recognizing powers of the base: 49 = 7^2 and 7 = 7^1. This allows simplification to numerical values, which is crucial for verifying the truth of logarithmic statements.
