Will Medal Write the following expressions as a single logarithm...

OpenStudy (omarbirjas):

\[2\log_{b} q+8\log_{b} t\]

OpenStudy (omarbirjas):

\[4\log x -6\log(x+2)\]

OpenStudy (omarbirjas):

Show work pls....

OpenStudy (omarbirjas):

@confluxepic

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

Luckily I just learned this.

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

\[\huge\ y\log_{b}x+z\log_{b}t=\log_{b}x^{y}\log_{b}t^{z}\]

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

@omarbirjas

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

Just plug in the values and you'll be fine.

OpenStudy (omarbirjas):

Thanks m8....

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

You're welcome.

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

\[\huge\log_{b}x^{y}\log_{b}t^{z}=\log_{b}{x^{y}}{t^{z}}\]

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

That's the correct version. If it's a (-) then you divide. If it's a (+) then you multiply.

OpenStudy (omarbirjas):

ok that got me set for the first one....but how do you do the second one...\[\log_{b} q^2t^8\] right?

OpenStudy (omarbirjas):

and for deviding it would look like this? \[\frac{ x^y }{ t^z }\]

OpenStudy (omarbirjas):

@confluxepic

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

Yes.

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

Should I show you how to do the second one?

OpenStudy (omarbirjas):

yes please, dont give me the answer tho....

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

\[\huge\ 4\log x -6\log(x+2)\] You already know that \(\ 4\log x\) become \(\log x^{4}\).

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

So you do the same exact thing with \(\ 6\log(x+2)\).

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

It becomes \(\log(x+2)^{6}\).

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

\(\huge\ log x^{4}-log(x+2)^{6}\)

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

There is a minus sign so what do you do?

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

I posted the rules earlier.

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

\(\color{blue}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @confluxepic If it's a (-) then you divide. If it's a (+) then you multiply. \(\color{blue}{\text{End of Quote}}\)

OpenStudy (omarbirjas):

We devide....but its the parethesis that have me goggley eyed...

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

Oh yeah.

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

\(\huge\ (x+2)^{6}\)

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

You can easily square it.

OpenStudy (omarbirjas):

or hex it....lol.....\[(6x+64)\] right? but then what?

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

Can you explain me the step you took to get that?

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

\(\huge\ (a + b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2\)

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

Replace the square with 6.

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

\(\huge\ (a + b)^6=?\)

OpenStudy (omarbirjas):

\[64+192 x+240 x^2+160 x^3+60 x^4+12 x^5+x^6\] im guessing?

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

I got \(\ x^6+12x^5+60x^4+160x^3+240x^2+192^x+64\).

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

Well they are the same thing.

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

\(\ log x^{4}-log(x+2)^{6}=log\frac{x^4}{x^6+12x^5+60x^4+160x^3+240x^2+192^x+64}\)

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

Do you understand?

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

You said earlier that we had to divide it so I'll take it as a yes.

OpenStudy (omarbirjas):

Yea I got it, now just simplify right?

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

Yes.

OpenStudy (omarbirjas):

would it be this?? \[24\log_{(\frac{ x }{ x+2 })} \]
