Use the product, quotient, and power rules of logarithms to rewrite the expression as a single logarithm. Assume that all variables represent positive real numbers. log_2^8-log_2z

OpenStudy (naveenbhatia1312):

\[\log_{2}8-\log_{2}z \]

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

hope you know that ? log a - log b = log a/b

OpenStudy (naveenbhatia1312):

yes and it can be 2^3 correct?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Sorry. In this case you are combining the logs into one, so keep the 8 as 8. Use the product rule we discussed before that @jhonyy9 wrote above.

OpenStudy (naveenbhatia1312):

so it will be log_2 8/z?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Correct.

OpenStudy (naveenbhatia1312):

\[\log_{2}(8/2)\]

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

yes sorry, but gtg

OpenStudy (naveenbhatia1312):

i mean z sorry

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

i know what you meant
