Solution

To solve log(xy)\log \left( \frac{\sqrt{x}}{y} \right) in terms of logx\log x, logy\log y, and logz\log z, we will use the properties of logarithms, including the quotient rule, product rule, and power rule. Here are the steps:

  1. Start with the given expression: log(xy)\log \left( \frac{\sqrt{x}}{y} \right)

  2. Apply the quotient rule of logarithms: log(xy)=log(x)logy\log \left( \frac{\sqrt{x}}{y} \right) = \log (\sqrt{x}) - \log y

  3. Simplify log(x)\log (\sqrt{x}) using the power rule of logarithms: log(x)=log(x1/2)=12logx\log (\sqrt{x}) = \log (x^{1/2}) = \frac{1}{2} \log x

  4. Combine everything together: log(xy)=12logxlogy\log \left( \frac{\sqrt{x}}{y} \right) = \frac{1}{2} \log x - \log y

Therefore, the expression log(xy)\log \left( \frac{\sqrt{x}}{y} \right) in terms of logx\log x and logy\log y is: log(xy)=12logxlogy\log \left( \frac{\sqrt{x}}{y} \right) = \frac{1}{2} \log x - \log y
