Almost but not quite

Allison:

It's wrong, just not sure what part

AZ:

You need to use this rule: \( log (a^b) = b\cdot log(a)\) So you have x^3 so what happened to that 3?

AZ:

Some of the other logarithm laws that you used correctly \( log(xy) = log(x) + log(y)\) \( log\left(\dfrac{a}{b}\right) = \dfrac{log(a)}{log(b)}\)

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Allison AH 1/3 \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) No no, check again

AZ:

\( log (\color{red}{a}^\color{orange}{b}) = \color{orange}{b}\cdot log(\color{red}{a})\) \( log (\color{red}{x}^\color{orange}{3}) = ?? \)

Allison:

I got it wrong, it's gone now

AZ:

): Here's how to solve it for any future problems \( log\left(\dfrac{\sqrt[3]{y} x^3 }{z}\right) = log(\sqrt[3]{y}x^3) - log(z)\) \( = log(\sqrt[3]{y}) + log(x^3) - log(x)\) \( = \dfrac{1}{3}log(y) + 3~log(x) - log(z)\)

Allison:

Thank you
