\[\frac{ 1 }{ 8 }\ln x +6 \ln y- \frac{ 1 }{ 6 }\ln z\]
HI!!
are you supposed to write it as a single log?
hmm can't do that can we since we have no numbers there
i think it wants you to write it as a single logarithm
unless you were given some numbers that you did not post
ok now i am thinking you are confusing two different problems since your equation has not a, b or c in it
sorry, my brain is fried today.
i bet you are looking at two separate questions one says "write as a single log" and one says "approximate the value"
You were correct it wants it written as a log of one quantity
ok whew
start with \[n\log(x)=\log(x^n)\]
so \[\large \frac{1}{8}\log(x)=\log(x^{\frac{1}{8}})=\log(\sqrt[8]{x})\]
similarly \[6\log(y)=\log(y^6)\]
and \[\frac{1}{6}\log(z)=\log(\sqrt[6]{z})\]
so now we have \[\large \log(\sqrt[8]{x})+\log(y^6)-\log(\sqrt[6]{z})\]
then use \[\log(A)+\log(B)=\log(AB)\]
and also \[\log(A)-\log(B)=\log(\frac{A}{B})\]
