Question 132329
What is {{{log(10,(sqrt(x/y)))}}} equal to? You cannot solve this as this is not an equation. However, you can simplify



{{{log(10,(sqrt(x/y)))}}} Start with the given equation



{{{log(10,((x/y)^(1/2)))}}} Convert from radical notation to exponent notation


{{{(1/2)log(10,(x/y))}}} Rewrite the expression using the identity  {{{log(b,(x^y))=y*log(b,(x))}}} 



{{{(1/2)(log(10,(x))-log(10,(y)))}}} Break up the log using the identity  {{{log(b,(A/B))=log(b,(A))-log(b,(B))}}}
