Let's take this part by part:
\n" ); document.write( "1. Express as a single logarithm and if possible, simplify.
\n" ); document.write( "\"Log_a%28x%5E3%29+-+2log_a%28sqrt%283x%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Step 1 - use the power rule and bring the 2 up to the exponent:
\n" ); document.write( "\"Log_a%28x%5E3%29+-+%28log_a%28sqrt%283x%29%29%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "step 2 - rewrite the square root a 1/2 power and cancel with the 2.
\n" ); document.write( "\"Log_a%28x%5E3%29+-+log_a%283x%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "step 3 - since the bases are the same and we are subtracting, we can combine and make this division as
\n" ); document.write( "\"Log_a%28x%5E3%2F3x%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "step 4 - we can reduce by x; assuming x is not 0 as
\n" ); document.write( "\"Log_a%28x%5E2%2F3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "--
\n" ); document.write( "2. Choose the expression or equation that is equivalent to the one given
\n" ); document.write( "Log_x(29) = 5
\n" ); document.write( "a. 29^x=5
\n" ); document.write( "b. X^29=5
\n" ); document.write( "c. 5^x=29
\n" ); document.write( "d. X^5=29
\n" ); document.write( "My answer is \"d\" is that right?
\n" ); document.write( "[D] is correct.
\n" ); document.write( "--
\n" ); document.write( "3. Express as a sum, difference, and product of logarithms, without using exponents:
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28Log%282x%29%5E%285y%5E8%29%29\"/\"4\"
\n" ); document.write( "step 1 - since 5y^8 is the big exponent, that comes out front using power rule
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28%285y%5E8%29%2Alog%282x%29%29%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "step 2 - since we are multiplying 2 and x, we can split it using addition as
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28%285y%5E8%29%2F4%29%2A%28log%282%29+%2B+log%28a%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
