Condense the logarithmic expression using logarithmic properties.

Question

log x + 4 log y

  

Answer 1

The log properties you need to use are:

1. log(a^b) = b log(a)
2. log(xy) = log(x) + log(y)

Use property 1 on 4 log(y), then apply property 2 to the whole expression. Post your answer as a comment and I'll check it.
