Math Problem Statement

Rewrite as a sum or difference of multiples of logarithms. log Subscript d Baseline left parenthesis x Superscript 7 Baseline y squared z right parenthesis

Solution

We are asked to rewrite logd(x7y2z)\log_d \left( x^7 y^2 z \right) as a sum or difference of multiples of logarithms.

We will use the following logarithmic properties:

  1. Product Rule: logb(AB)=logb(A)+logb(B)\log_b(AB) = \log_b(A) + \log_b(B)
  2. Power Rule: logb(An)=nlogb(A)\log_b(A^n) = n \log_b(A)

Step-by-step solution:

Given: logd(x7y2z)\log_d \left( x^7 y^2 z \right)

Step 1: Apply the product rule

logd(x7y2z)=logd(x7)+logd(y2)+logd(z)\log_d \left( x^7 y^2 z \right) = \log_d (x^7) + \log_d (y^2) + \log_d (z)

Step 2: Apply the power rule

logd(x7)=7logd(x)\log_d (x^7) = 7 \log_d (x) logd(y2)=2logd(y)\log_d (y^2) = 2 \log_d (y)

So, the expression becomes: 7logd(x)+2logd(y)+logd(z)7 \log_d (x) + 2 \log_d (y) + \log_d (z)

Final Answer:

logd(x7y2z)=7logd(x)+2logd(y)+logd(z)\log_d \left( x^7 y^2 z \right) = 7 \log_d (x) + 2 \log_d (y) + \log_d (z)
