Answer

$\log_3{\sqrt[4]{2x}}$

Work Step by Step

Recall the power property of logarithms (pg. 462): $\log_b{m^n}=n\log_b{m}$ We apply this property to the given expression to obtain: $\frac{1}{4}\log_3{2}+\frac{1}{4}\log_3{x}=\log_3{2^{\frac{1}{4}}}+\log_3{x^{\frac{1}{4}}}$ Next, recall the product property of logarithms (pg. 462): $\log_b{mn}=\log_b{m}+\log_b{n}$ Applying this property, we get: $\log_3{2^{\frac{1}{4}}}+\log_3{x^{\frac{1}{4}}}\\ =\log_3{2^{1/4}x^{1/4}}\\ =\log_3{(2x)^{1/4}}\\ =\log_3{\sqrt[4]{2x}}$
