Answer

$2\log_b{x} + \log_b{y}$

Work Step by Step

RECALL: (1) $\log_b{(MN)} = \log_b{M} + \log_b{N}$ (2) $\log_b{(\frac{M}{N})} = \log_b{M} - \log_b{N}$ (3) $\log_b{(b^x)}=x$ (4) $\log_b{(a^n)} = n \cdot \log_b{a}$ Use rule (1) above to obtain $=\log_b{x^2}+\log_b{y}$ Use rule (4) above to obtain: $=2\log_b{x} + \log_b{y}$
