Work Step by Step

Law of Logarithms: 1. $\log(AB)=\log A +\log B$ 2. $\log(A/B)=\log A -\log B$ 3. $\log(A^C)=C\log A$ 4. $\log_{A}B=\frac{\log_{C}A}{\log_{C}B}$ Properties of Loagrithms: 1. $\log_{a}1=0$ 2. $\log_{a}a=1$ 3. $\log_{a}a^x=x$ 4. $a^{\log_{a}x}=x$ a. From law of logarithms 2 and then law of logarithms 1... $\log (\frac{xy^3}{z^2})=\log(xy^3)-\log z^2=\log x+3\log y-2\log z$ b. From law of logarithms 3 and then law of logarithms 2... $\ln \sqrt{\frac{x}{y}}=\frac{1}{2} \log{\frac{x}{y}}=\frac{1}{2}(\log x-\log y)$ c. From law of logarithms 3 and then law of logarithms 2 and then law of logarithms 1... $\log {\sqrt[3] {\frac{x+2}{x^4(x^2+4)}}}=\frac{1}{3}\log\left(\frac{x+2}{x^4(x^2+4)}\right)=\frac{1}{3}\left(\log(x+2)-4\log x-\log(x^2+4)\right)$
