Question

Question 7 of 10Use the properties of logarithms to expand the following expression.(√log(x+4)5x³Your answer should not have radicals or exponents.You may assume that all variables are positive.

Answer 1

We have:

$\begin{gathered} log(\sqrt{\frac{(x+4)^5}{x^3}}) \\ =log(\frac{(x+4)^2\sqrt{x+4}}{x\sqrt{x}} \end{gathered}$

Applying properties of logarithms:

$\begin{gathered} =log((x+4)^2\sqrt{x+4})-log(x\sqrt{x}) \\ =2log(x+4)+log(\sqrt{x+4})-logx-log\sqrt{x} \end{gathered}$
