Question

Write each expression as a single logarithm with coefficient 1. Assume all variables represent positive real numbers.

2loga^(z+1)+loga^(3z+2)

Answer 1

a^2(z+1) + a^(3z+2)

Answer 2

a^(2z+2) + a^(3z+2)

Answer 3

(2z+2) + (3z +2) ====> a^5z+4

Is that right?

Answer 4

Demonfeed, addition outside the log becomes multiplication inside. So rather than + you would have * between the two terms. I believe, you also should not leave out the log unless you're doing it on both sides of an equation.

Answer 5

If you put a log around your end result then this is correct - just the intermediate step are not ok.
