combine into single log...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\log_{5}2+\log_{5}(x+1)-1/3\log_{5}(3x+7) \]

OpenStudy (shamil98):

Just a heads up, this offers the log "rules" , you could say. http://www.rapidtables.com/math/algebra/logarithm/Logarithm_Rules.htm Check it out, unless your problem is a bit more complex, i'll gladly assist to the best of my ability.

OpenStudy (shamil98):

You can just use the addition log rule and then use the subtraction log rule to combine that, so just check out the website. Give it an attempt!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so do I do each part seperately

OpenStudy (shamil98):

Yeah.

OpenStudy (shamil98):

As i said above, use the addition rule to combine them, then use the subtraction rule.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the first part 5log2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5log2+5log(x+1)-5*1/3log(3x+7) ?

OpenStudy (shamil98):

The first part is: \[\ \log_5 2 + \log_5 (x+1) = \log_5 2(x+1) \] Then: \[\ \log_5 2(x+1) - \frac {1}{3} \log_5 (3x+7) \] Finally: \[\ \frac{\log_5 2(x+1)}{\frac{1}{3} (3x+7)} \] Simplfies to: \[\ \frac{\log_5 6(x+1)}{(3x+7)} \]

OpenStudy (shamil98):

Sorry it should be: \[\log_5 \left( \frac{ 6(x+1) }{3x+7 } \right)\]

OpenStudy (shamil98):

I messed up when manually writing the LaTeX. xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thnks I get it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do u mind if I write u 2 problems I did them just wana kno if they r right @shamil98
