PLEASE HELPPP. I have no idea how to do this. log(10^3x^7)
A.21log(x)
B.3x^7
C.21
D.3+7log(x)

remember that the log of a product is equal to the sum of the logs of the multiplicands
OpenStudy (whpalmer4):
@julian25 why did you delete? that was good stuff
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes but i saw u telling me
dont give the answer.........
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I honestly have no idea how to do this, or any idea with logs because I am taking an online program and have no base of trig/precal. First time taking it.): If you could please teach me.
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
first you use the rule that log(A*B) = log(A) + log(B)

so that will break
log(10^3x^7)
into
log(10^3) + log(x^7)
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
what is your next move?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Do you just simply add them?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
what do you mean by that
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Wait is the answer 3x^7?

what does log(10^3) simplify into
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
keep in mind that this log is by default base 10
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
good
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so
log(10^3) + log(x^7)
becomes
3 + log(x^7)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
how would you simplify log(x^7)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I just put it into my calculator right now aha, and got 7.But how do you do it without a calculator?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
well you use the rule that log(x^y) = y*log(x)
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
that will bring down the exponent
so log(x^7) = 7*log(x)
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so in the end, the final answer is
3 + 7*log(x)
