log%28b%2Cx%29=y means b%5Ey=x and log%28b%2Cxy%29=log%28b%2Cx%29%2Blog%28b%2Cy%29, so



if y=log%28sqrt%282%29%2C2%29, then %28sqrt%282%29%29%5Ey=2. If %28sqrt%282%29%29%5Ey=2 then y=2

if z=log%28sqrt%282%29%2Csqrt%282%29%29, then %28sqrt%282%29%29%5Ez=sqrt%282%29. If %28sqrt%282%29%29%5Ez=sqrt%282%29, then z=1 (In fact, log%28b%2Cb%29+=+1, always)

Therefore:
