Note: all logs written below are base 'a'

log(7x^6y)

log(7*x^6*y)

log(7) + log(x^6*y)

log(7) + [log(x^6*y)]

log(7) + [log(x^6) + log(y)]

log(7) + log(x^6) + log(y)

log(7) + 6*log(x) + log(y)

-------------------------------------------------------

Answer: log(7) + 6*log(x) + log(y)

Note: again, all logs on this page are base 'a'
