Question
Write each expression as a sum or difference of logarithms.Example: $\log \left(m^{2} n^{5}\right)=2 \log m+5 \log n$$$\log _{b}\left(\frac{x}{y z}\right)$$
Step 1
According to the properties of logarithms, the division inside the logarithm can be expressed as subtraction outside the logarithm. So, we can rewrite the expression as $\log _{b} x - \log _{b}(y z)$. Show more…
