You can put this solution on YOUR website! By the law of logarithms, when you SUBTRACT logarithms, you DIVIDE:
For additional help with simplifying LOGARITHMS, please see own my website!!! Just click on my tutor name "Rapaljer" anywhere in algebra.com. Then click on the link there to my website. From my Homepage, look for the link "Basic, Intermediate, and College Algebra: One Step at a Time." For a complete explanation of Logarithms, look for "College Algebra" and look in Chapter 4, for the section on the Laws of Logarithms. This is FULL of examples, exercises, and answers to all the exercises. See also the "Math in Living Color" pages where many of these exercises are solved IN COLOR. My own students used to tell me that my explanations are much easier to understand than the traditional textbooks. Perhaps you will like this section.
I also have TWO videos on the topic of Logarithms. To see the videos, which by the way are FREE, from my Homepage, look for the link "Rapalje Videos in Living Color." Choose "College Algebra" , and look for appropriate video.
I just want to make math easier for people who have trouble with math. It's usually not as hard as everyone thinks it is. The website has a lot of resources--all FREE.
