can someone PLEASE HELP me SIMPLIFY this problem (2^x/2)^2+ 〖log〗_3 (2x)+ 2〖log〗_3 (2x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[2^{x} + 3\log_{3} 2x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(2^{x}/2)^{2}+ \log_3 (2x)+ 2\log_3 (2x)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes thats the problem abtrehearn

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[= 2^{x} + \log_3(2x) + \log_3((2x )^{2})\] \[= 2^{x} + \log_3((2x)^{3})\] \[= 2^{x} + \log_3(8) + 3 \log_3(x)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We can change the base of the logarithmic terms from 3 to 2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\log_3(8) + 3 \log_3(x)= \log_2(8)/\log_2(3) + 3 \log_2(x)/\log_2(3)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[3(1 + \log_2(x))/\log_2(3).\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That makes the answer \[2^{x} + 3(1 + \log_2(x))/\log_2(3).\]
