Math Problem Statement

Express \( \log_x 2yz \) as a sum of logarithms.

Solution

To express logx2yz\log_x 2yz as a sum of logarithms, we can use the properties of logarithms, specifically:

  1. Product Rule:
    loga(MN)=logaM+logaN\log_a (MN) = \log_a M + \log_a N

Applying the rule to logx2yz\log_x 2yz, we break it down step by step:

logx2yz=logx2+logxy+logxz\log_x 2yz = \log_x 2 + \log_x y + \log_x z

Thus, the correct answer is:

D. logx2+logxy+logxz\log_x 2 + \log_x y + \log_x z
