Answer

$\log_4{(x^5)}$

Work Step by Step

RECALL: (1) Product Property of Logarithms: $\log_a{mn}=\log_a{m} + \log_a{n}$ (2) Quotient Property of Logarithms: $\log_a{\frac{m}{n}}=\log_a{m} - \log_a{n}$ (3) Power Property of Logarithms: $\log_a{m^n}=n\log_a{m}$ Use the Power Property to obtain: $$3\log_4{x}+2\log_4{x}=\log_4{x^3}+\log_4{x^2}$$ Use the Product Property to obtain: $$\log_4{x^3}+\log_4{x^2}=\log_4{(x^3\cdot x^2)}=\log_4{x^5}$$
