Question 172751: Please help me!
3. Simplify the following expressions:
a. X4 * X5
b. Z9/Z10
c. log3Y + log3Z
d. log5Y - log5Z

Answer by monika_p(71)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
a.= use multiplication property of exponents with same base
b. use division property of exponents with same base and reciprocal property
c. log3Y + log3Z= log3(Y*Z) use The Product Rule for Logarithms logxA+logxB=logx(A*B)

d. log5Y - log5Z=log5(Y/Z) use The Quotient Rule for Logarithms logxA-logxB=logx(A/b)
