Write in terms of the logarithms of x, y, and z. |
|
| We want to write the expression such that the variables are as isolated as possible. | ||
|
Solve |
Step |
|
| Recall: | Convert radicals into exponents | |
|
|
Replace
radicals Exponents turn into multiplication |
|
| Take
care of multiplication next multiplication turns into addition |
||
| Do log b y3 = 3 log b y next | ||
| Distribute 1/4 through ( ) | ||
| All variables are isolated | ||
|
Properties |
|
| log b M p = p log b M | log b MN = log b M + log b N |
| log b M p = p log b M | |
