Answer

$\log_{b}21$

Work Step by Step

Basic logarithmic properties:$ \left\{\begin{array}{l} \log_{b}1=0\\ \log_{b}b=1\\ \log_{b}b^{x}=x\\ b^{\log_{b}}x=x \end{array}\right.$ Rules: The Product Rule: $\log_{b}(MN)=\log_{b}\mathrm{M}+\log_{b}\mathrm{N}$ The Quotient Rule: $\displaystyle \log_{b}(\frac{M}{N})=\log_{b}\mathrm{M}-\log_{b}\mathrm{N}$ The Power Rule: $\log_{b}(M^{p})=p\cdot\log_{b}\mathrm{M}$ --- $\log_{b}7+\log_{b}3=\qquad $... apply $:$ Product Rule $=\log_{b}(7\cdot 3)$ $=\log_{b}21$
