Question

i need help with this log quetion:

Write each as the sum or difference of logs:

Answer 1

\[\log_{4}(4a^3b^8)\]

Answer 2

Note that \[\log a + \log b=\log(ab)\]

Answer 3

yea, but how can i put that formula into what i have?

Answer 4

Well, what do you have in the brackets? Is it not \[4a ^{2}\times b^{8}\]?

Answer 5

yes.
so in reality do i just add those instead?

Answer 6

Add the log of each expression, yes. And I believe you can further simplify them if needed.

Answer 7

so it would be 4a^2b8

Answer 8

Here, would this help you? http://www.algebra.com/algebra/homework/logarithm/logarithm.faq.question.202938.html

I have to go to class now so I cannot explain immediately. But I will if you still need help when I get home. But your answer is not quite right.

Answer 9

ah
thank you for the little bit of help you did ^.6
