log4(100) - log4(32) - log4(50)

Using the Laws of Logarithms:

Now, by the basic definition of logarithms:
means

So, means that

Therefore, y = -2, since

I think my explanation of LOGARITHMS is easier to understand than the ones given in traditional textbooks. It's all posted free for you on my website. Just go to my website by clicking on my tutor name "Rapaljer" anywhere in algebra.com, and look for the link on my homepage that says "Basic, Intermediate, and College Algebra: One Step at a Time." Select "College Algebra" and look for "Chapter 4" which is my Logarithms chapter. You will probably need to study the Laws of Logarithms, once you understand the basic Definition of Logarithms.

Find the exact value of each expression. log4(100) - log4(32) - log4(50)
.
log4(100) - log4(32) - log4(50)
log4(100/32) - log4(50)
log4(3.125) - log4(50)
log4(3.125/50)
log4(.0625)
log(.0625)/log4
-2
