Simplify the expression below: Log((10^6)(X^2))
A 6+2log(x) B 6x^2 C 12 D 12log(x)
familiar with the log rules ?
Not at all
Any type of mathematics are not my best subjects.
quotient rule\[\large\rm log_b x - \log_b y = \log_b \frac{ x }{ y}\] to expand you can change division to subtraction product rule \[\large\rm log_b x + \log_b y = \log_b( x \times y )\] addition < ----> multiplication power rule \[\large\rm log_b x^y = y \log_b x\] that's all you need to know for this equation these are log rules
this topic is very easy they gave you 2 rules you just need to follow em
\[\huge\rm Log( 10^6 X^2 )\]which rule would you apply ??
\[\huge\rm Log( 10^6* X^2 )\]which rule would you apply ?? multiplication so change that to ??
I dont know, this is like a foreign language to me, Im sorry.
look at the rules i gave you try it !
here is an example \[\log (2 y) \] its `2 times y` multiplication so to expand i would apply product rule \[\rm \log(2)+\log(y)\]split it into two log
Log(10) and log(x)? or would the exponents come before the Log, 6Log(10) and 2Log(x) like this?
yes that's correct !
but wait what sign would be between both logs ?
product rule \[\large\rm log_b(x\color{reD}{*}y)= log_b x\color{ReD}{ +} \log_b y \] addition < ----> multiplication to expand change multiplication to addition
okay, so Log(10)+Log(x) is what it looks like then?
this is confusing, sorry about this.
yes don't forget the exponents \[\rm Log(10)^6+Log(x) ^2\] now apply power rule move the exponents front of the logs
it's okay this is the easy subject :=))
i mean topic*
okay so 6Log(10)+2Log(x).
loks good!
looks*
Thank you so much, this helped alot.
