Since a base is not specified, the base is 10.

a) log(3500)

3500=(5)(7)(10^2)
log(3500)=log(5)+log(7)+2log(10) = log(5)+log(7)+2

b) log(2)

2 =10/5
log(2)=log(10)-log(5)=1-log(5)

Use the given definitions of m and n to write the two logs in terms of m and n.

log 3500=log 7+log 500=log 7+log(5*100)=log 7+log 5+2=2+n+m
log 2 is log (10/5) or log 10-log 5 or 1-n
