Math Problem Statement

logb4 x9 y4z5

Solution

It seems like you're working with logarithmic and algebraic terms. Let's break it down:

  1. log₄(x⁹ y⁴ z⁵) can be simplified using the logarithmic property that states:
    logb(abc)=logba+logbb+logbc\log_b (a \cdot b \cdot c) = \log_b a + \log_b b + \log_b c

  2. Apply this property to your expression:
    log4(x9y4z5)=log4(x9)+log4(y4)+log4(z5)\log_4(x^9 y^4 z^5) = \log_4(x^9) + \log_4(y^4) + \log_4(z^5)

  3. Now, use the logarithmic power rule:
    logb(an)=nlogba\log_b (a^n) = n \cdot \log_b a

  4. Applying this rule gives:
    9log4x+4log4y+5log4z9 \cdot \log_4 x + 4 \cdot \log_4 y + 5 \cdot \log_4 z

So the simplified expression is: 9log4x+4log4y+5log4z9 \cdot \log_4 x + 4 \cdot \log_4 y + 5 \cdot \log_4 z
