OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

You need to know these rules of logs: \(\Large \log_b \dfrac{x}{y} = \log_bx - \log_b y\) \(\Large \log_b x^n = n \log_b x\) Use the first rule first. What do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that means that in the second part of the equation, it always has to be subtracting... okay. that takes 2 answers off my list.

would it be \[\log_{4}8-2\log_{4}x \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

someone please help me

You're doing just fine.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did i get the right answer??:D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@radar

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Yea you're right :_

OpenStudy (radar):

No, that would be dividing 8 squared by c

OpenStudy (radar):

I mean *x lol

OpenStudy (radar):

Look at the earlier post by mathstudent55, you are supposed to be subtracting the divisor.

OpenStudy (radar):

Did you choose D "did i get the right answer??:D"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, thats a super smiley face, haha. i choose C and it was correct

OpenStudy (radar):

O..K that is correct!

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Applying the first rule we get: \( \Large \log_4 \dfrac{8}{x^2} = \log_4 8 - \log_4 x^2\) Applying the second rule we get: \( \Large \log_4 \dfrac{8}{x^2} = \log_4 8 - 2 \log_4 x\)

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

You are correct. Good job!

OpenStudy (radar):

Sorry about that I guess I am not "hip" to internet speak lol.

OpenStudy (radar):

I thought you were on track that is why I said you are doing fine, then you posted that and it threw me off.

OpenStudy (radar):

@mathstudent55 Just a problem in "internet slang"
