Answer

$= \frac{1}{5}log_2(x) + \frac{4}{5}log_2(y) - \frac{4}{5}$

Work Step by Step

$= log_2(\sqrt[5] {\frac{xy^{4}}{16}})$ $=log_2(\frac{xy^{4}}{16})^{\frac{1}{5}}$ $=\frac{1}{5}log_2(\frac{xy^{4}}{16})$ $= \frac{1}{5}log_2(xy^{4}) - \frac{1}{5}log_2(16)$ $=\frac{1}{5}log_2(x) + \frac{1}{5}log_2(y^{4}) - \frac{1}{5}log_2(2^{4})$ $= \frac{1}{5}log_2(x) + \frac{4}{5}log_2(y) - \frac{4}{5}log_2(2)$ $= \frac{1}{5}log_2(x) + \frac{4}{5}log_2(y) - \frac{4}{5}$
