Question 736874
<pre>

Yes, it can be simplified further because the ratio of two logs with the same 
positive base (not 1) is independent of the positive base (not 1). 
{{{matrix(1,11,For,k>0,",",k<>1,",", x>0,",",y>0,",",y<>1,",")}}}

{{{z}}}{{{""=""}}}{{{ln(x)^""/ln(y)^""}}}{{{""=""}}}{{{log(k,(x))/log(k,(y))}}}{{{""=""}}}{{{log(y,(x))/log(y,(y))}}}{{{""=""}}}{{{log(y,(x))^""/1^""^""}}}{{{""=""}}}{{{log(y,(x))}}}
