Properties of Logarithms

Write log_b(xy) as two logs

• log_bx+log_by
• log_bx-log_by
• log_bx*log_by
• log_bx/log_by

Write log_b(x/y) as two logs

• log_bx-log_by
• log_bx+log_by
• log_bx*log_by
• log_bx/log_by

Rewrite log_b(xⁿ)

• nlog_bx
• (log_bx)ⁿ
• xⁿlog_bx
• log_b(xⁿ)

Write the expression as a single logarithm.   Then simplify if possible.
