Expand each logarithm.

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

make use of the following rules:\[\log(ab)=\log(a)+\log(b)\]and:\[\log(a^b)=b\log(a)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which one do i use?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well....both.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First use product rule of logs. Then, use the next one.

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

treat \(x^3\) as a and \(y^5\) as b and apply product rule first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its 3 log x + 5 log y ?

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

yup
