I've tried But that doesn't seem to be correct
I think you just didn't remember that the square root is the same
as the power.
We observe that 32 = 2*16 = 2*2*8 = 2*2*2*4 = 2*2*2*2*2 = 25
We observe that 27 = 3*9 = 3*3*3 = 33
We observe that the square root is the power:
Now we use a rule of logarithms that allows us to move the
exponent in front as a coefficient of the log:
Now we can write the log of a quotient as the difference of the logs,
being careful to place the difference of logs in parentheses so that
the is multiplied by both terms:
Now on each of those terms inside the parentheses, we again use the
rule of logarithms that allows us to move the 5 and 2 exponents in
front as a coefficient of the logs:
Finally we substuitute A for and C for
Yoou can leave it like that or write it over 2 like this:
or as
