log4 (x^3/1024y^5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's asking to expand this equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'd start with the law\[\log_{a} (x/y)=\log_{a}x-\log_{a}y\]

I got log4(x^3=3 log4 x... i don't think i did it right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

By my first suggestion, you should end up with\[\log_4(\frac{x^3}{1024y^5})=\log_4(x^3)-\log_4(1024y^5)\] From here, I would use the law\[\log_a(x^n)=n \log_a(x)\]
