Question

condense the expression to a single logarithm: 3logx-4logy-log(x-4)

minus means division

Answer 2

i've gotten it down to logx^3/logy^4 divided by log(x-4) but i don't know how to condense it farther than that, any thoughts?

Answer 3

x-4 would be?

Answer 4

what do you mean?

Answer 6

sorry still don't understand. I'm not sure what to do with the last -log(x-4)

Answer 7

\[\log(a)+\log(b)-\log(c) = \log(\frac{ab}{c})\]
Should be the last step you need :)

Answer 8

even though the logarithm has three minus and no addition?

Answer 9

I showed what to do with addition and subtraction. If it's all subtraction, then just do that.
