use the properties of logarithms to elimate products, quotients and exponents from the following expression: log3[9 sqrt(x-5)/(x-1)^(5)]
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "log3[9 sqrt(x-5)/(x-1)^(5)]
\n" ); document.write( "= 2 + (1/2)log(x-5) - 5log(x-1)
\n" ); document.write( "or
\n" ); document.write( "= 2 + log(sqrt(x-5)) - 5log(x-1)
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "The middle term has to be either with the 1/2 coefficient, or the sq root.
\n" ); document.write( "All logs base 3.
