Simplify 1/3(log5 x – log5 3 + 2log5 y).

OpenStudy (dumbsearch2):

OpenStudy (broskishelleh):

(1/3)(log5[x/3]+log5(y^2)) ----- = (1/3)(log5[xy^2/3] ----- = log5[xy^2/3]^(1/3)

OpenStudy (broskishelleh):

CHEATER

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

\(\log(a)-\log(b)=\log(\frac{a}{b})\\\log(a)+\log(b)=\log(ab)\)

OpenStudy (dumbsearch2):

Do I start with the positive side or negative side to simplify?

OpenStudy (broskishelleh):

Positive

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

it does not matter. addition is associative

OpenStudy (broskishelleh):

Was I correct? @zzr0ck3r

OpenStudy (rowanmartinfan):

PSST hi @Broskishelleh

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

log5[(xy^2/3)^(1/3)]

OpenStudy (dumbsearch2):

I didn't get your first answer when I started with the right side (positive side) but when I started from the left from right it came out properly. So does that mean that it always has to be from left --> right? So is it A?

OpenStudy (broskishelleh):

yes

OpenStudy (dumbsearch2):

@zzr0ck3r May you confirm this?

OpenStudy (rowanmartinfan):

may who preform what lol

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

thats what I got but you sohuld work it out to make sure

OpenStudy (dumbsearch2):

does always have to be from left --> right?

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

no

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

(a+b)+c = c+(b+a) ...

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

log(a)-log(b)+log(c) going from the left (log(a)-log(b))+log(c)=log(a/b)+log(c)=log((a/b) * c) going from the right loga+(-log(b)+log(c)=log(a)+(log(c)-log(b))=log(a)+log(c/b) = log(a*b/c)=log((a/b)*c) same thing

OpenStudy (dumbsearch2):

Thank you so much @zzr0ck3r Incredible help
