The sum of the logs is the log of the product, so:



Two log functions to the same base are equal if and only if their arguments are equal, hence:



Multiply both sides by 5. Square both sides. Add to both sides.

If = where x and y are greater than 0, show that
**
log((x + y)/5)= log(sqrt(x))+ log(sqrt(y))
show that x^2 + y^2 = 23xy
..
log((x + y)/5)- log(sqrt(x)- log(sqrt(y)=0
log((x + y)/5)- [(log(sqrt(x)+ log(sqrt(y)]=0
place under single log:
log[((x + y)/5)/(√x*√y)]=0
convert to exponential form:
10^0=[((x + y)/5)/(√x*√y)=1
[((x + y)/5)=(√xy)
(x + y)=5√xy
square both sides
x^2+2xy+y^2=25xy
x^2+y^2=23xy
