Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem is asking to use the logarithmic identity to solve the expressions provided.
Here are the expressions and the options shown in the image:
- Expression (a):
- Expression (b): 32
- Expression (c):
- Expression (d):
Let's analyze each one:
-
(a) : Using the property , this expression simplifies to 8.
-
(b) 32: This is a simple number, no calculations required.
-
(c) : Both terms follow the same property:
Thus, .
-
(d) : This one is more complex, but using the logarithmic identity for each term:
So, the expression simplifies to .
Final answers:
- a) 8
- b) 32
- c) 16
- d) 3
