Question 1069912: What is
log(z^4/5)
written in expanded form?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
log (z^4/5) = log(z^4) - log(5) = 4 * log(z) - log(5).

for example:

assume z is equal to 5.

log(z^4/5) equals log(5^4/5) equals log(5^3) equals 2.096910013.

4 * log(5) - log(5) equals 2.096910013.

they give you the same answer.

this means they're equivalent.

your solution is:

log(z^4/5) = 4 * log(z) - log(5).

this works for any legitimate value of z.

for example:

if z = 20, then log(z^4/5) = 4.505149978

and 4 * log(z) - log(5) = the same.
