Answer

$4$

Work Step by Step

Recall: (1) Product Property of Logarithms: $\log_a{b}+\log_a{c}=\log_a{bc}$. (2) Quotient Property of Logarithms: $\log_a{b}-\log_a{c}=\log_a{\frac{b}{c}}$. (3) Power Property of Logarithms: $\log_a{b^n} = n\cdot \log_a{b}$ Use the Quotient Property to obtain: \begin{align*} &=\log{\left(\frac{33000}{99}\right)} + \log{30}\\ \end{align*} Use the Power Property to obtain: \begin{align*} \require{cancel} &=\log{\left(\frac{33000}{99} \cdot 30\right)}\\\\ &=\log{\left(\frac{33000 \cdot 30}{99}\right)}\\\\ &=\log{\left(\frac{\cancel{33000}^{1000} \cdot 30}{\cancel{99}^3}\right)}\\\\ &=\log{\left(\frac{1000 \cdot \cancel{30}^{10}}{\cancel{3}}\right)}\\\\ &=\log{\left(1000\cdot 10\right)}\\\\ &=\log{\left(10,000\right)}\\\\ &=\log{\left(10^4\right)}\\\\ &=4 \end{align*}
