Math Problem Statement

The expression log(x to the power of 6 y to the power of 20 divided by z to the power of 10) can be written in the form

Alog(x)+Blog(y)+Clog(z)

Solution

To rewrite the expression log(x6y20z10)\log \left( \frac{x^6 y^{20}}{z^{10}} \right) in terms of log(x)\log(x), log(y)\log(y), and log(z)\log(z), we’ll use the logarithmic properties.

  1. Quotient Rule of Logarithms: log(ab)=log(a)log(b)\log \left( \frac{a}{b} \right) = \log(a) - \log(b)
  2. Product Rule of Logarithms: log(ab)=log(a)+log(b)\log(ab) = \log(a) + \log(b)
  3. Power Rule of Logarithms: log(an)=nlog(a)\log(a^n) = n \log(a)

Using these properties, we can transform the expression step-by-step:

log(x6y20z10)=log(x6y20)log(z10)\log \left( \frac{x^6 y^{20}}{z^{10}} \right) = \log \left( x^6 y^{20} \right) - \log \left( z^{10} \right)

Applying the Product Rule on log(x6y20)\log \left( x^6 y^{20} \right):

=log(x6)+log(y20)log(z10)= \log \left( x^6 \right) + \log \left( y^{20} \right) - \log \left( z^{10} \right)

Now, applying the Power Rule on each term:

=6log(x)+20log(y)10log(z)= 6 \log(x) + 20 \log(y) - 10 \log(z)

Thus, we can express the expression in the desired form:

Alog(x)+Blog(y)+Clog(z)A \log(x) + B \log(y) + C \log(z)

where:

  • A=6A = 6
  • B=20B = 20
  • C=10C = -10
