\[\frac{ 1 }{ 8 }\ln x +6 \ln y- \frac{ 1 }{ 6 }\ln z\]

OpenStudy (misty1212):

HI!!

OpenStudy (misty1212):

are you supposed to write it as a single log?

OpenStudy (misty1212):

hmm can't do that can we since we have no numbers there

OpenStudy (misty1212):

i think it wants you to write it as a single logarithm

OpenStudy (misty1212):

unless you were given some numbers that you did not post

OpenStudy (misty1212):

ok now i am thinking you are confusing two different problems since your equation has not a, b or c in it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry, my brain is fried today.

OpenStudy (misty1212):

i bet you are looking at two separate questions one says "write as a single log" and one says "approximate the value"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You were correct it wants it written as a log of one quantity

OpenStudy (misty1212):

ok whew

OpenStudy (misty1212):

start with \[n\log(x)=\log(x^n)\]

OpenStudy (misty1212):

so \[\large \frac{1}{8}\log(x)=\log(x^{\frac{1}{8}})=\log(\sqrt[8]{x})\]

OpenStudy (misty1212):

similarly \[6\log(y)=\log(y^6)\]

OpenStudy (misty1212):

and \[\frac{1}{6}\log(z)=\log(\sqrt[6]{z})\]

OpenStudy (misty1212):

so now we have \[\large \log(\sqrt[8]{x})+\log(y^6)-\log(\sqrt[6]{z})\]

OpenStudy (misty1212):

then use \[\log(A)+\log(B)=\log(AB)\]

OpenStudy (misty1212):

and also \[\log(A)-\log(B)=\log(\frac{A}{B})\]
