Question 890524: My question was log of sqrt (x (sqrt (2y (sqrt (z))))
What I did was (1/2)logx sqrt (2y (sqrt (z))
(1/2)logx(1/4)logy^2 sqrt (z)
(1/2)logx(1/4)logy^2(1/8)logz
Then factored that to (1/2)[logx(1/2)logy^2(1/4)logz]
But my professor counted it as wrong and I hope it's not too confusing the way that I typed it but the formula system wouldn't work for me. I just wanted to see where I went wrong with this question. Thank you!

My question was log of sqrt (x (sqrt (2y (sqrt (z))))
----
1st, that's not a question.
Questions are, eg, what? when? where? - etc

(1/2)logx(1/4)logy^2 sqrt (z)
(1/2)logx(1/4)logy^2(1/8)logz

It is too confusing/ambiguous. Can you scan it and send it to gsihoutx@aol.com?
