HELP ME PLEASE (I WOULD TYPE THE QUESTION SHORTLY)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\huge If \log \frac{ x-y }{ 4 }=\log \sqrt{x} + \log \sqrt{y}\] Then Show That \[\huge (x+y)^{2}= 20xy\]

This time i would do the question but give me some hints as i am not getting it for a long time

zepdrix (zepdrix):

So use rules of logs to get each side written in terms of a single log. Then exponentiate each side.

wait i will be doing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\huge \log \frac{ x-y }{ 4 } = \log \sqrt{xy}\] \[\huge \frac{ (x-y)^{2} }{16 }=xy\] \[\huge (x-y)^{2} =16xy\] \[\huge x ^{2} + y ^{2} =18xy\] \[\huge (x+y)^{2} -2xy =18xy\] \[\huge (x+y)^{2} =20xy\] \[\Huge Proved!!\]
