HI!!
OpenStudy (misty1212):
no need to post the answers
OpenStudy (misty1212):
you will use two facts

first one is that \[n\log(x)=\log(x^n)\]
write each like that first
OpenStudy (misty1212):
second is that \[\log(x)+\log(y)=\log(xy)\] use that second
OpenStudy (ccastudentgrade10):
blog(y) = log(x^4) ?
OpenStudy (misty1212):
no don't set them equal
first rewrite \[5\log(y)\] as \[\log(y^5)\]
now you do the second one \[4\log(x)\]
OpenStudy (ccastudentgrade10):
log(x^4)

right so now we are at this step \[5\log(y)+4\log(x)=\log(y^5)+\log(x^4)\]
OpenStudy (misty1212):
now the sum of the logs is the log of the products, which is an english way of saying \[\log(A)+\log(B)=\log(AB)\]
OpenStudy (misty1212):
so write the log of the product of \(y^5\) and \(x^4\)
OpenStudy (ccastudentgrade10):
log(xy^9) ?

OpenStudy (misty1212):
no
OpenStudy (misty1212):
\[y^5x^4\neq xy^9\]
OpenStudy (misty1212):
\[x^4y^5=x^4y^5\]that is all
OpenStudy (misty1212):
so put that inside the log
OpenStudy (ccastudentgrade10):
i dont understand how

@misty1212
OpenStudy (misty1212):
just write it \[\log(x^4y^5)\]
OpenStudy (ccastudentgrade10):
so is that the answer? @misty1212
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (ccastudentgrade10):
so it would be b, right?
