log%281%2F4%2C8%29+-+log%285%2C.2%29+%2B+log%28sqrt%28a%29%2Ca%29
The 1st term is x in %281%2F4%29%5Ex+=+8
%281%2F4%29%5E%28-3%2F2%29+=+8
The 2nd term is x in 5%5Ex+=+.2
5%5E%28-1%29+=+.2
The 3rd term is x in %28sqrt%28a%29%29%5Ex+=+a
%28sqrt%28a%29%29%5E2+=+a
-3%2F2+-+%28-1%29+%2B+2+=+-3%2F2+%2B+2%2F2+%2B+4%2F2
