Question

Please help exspand the logarithm:

Answer 1

The first step for expanding this expression is to use the logarithmic product and the quotient rule.
㏒$_{5}$(2) + ㏒$_{5}$ (x²) + ㏒$_{5}$(y)
Lastly,, use ㏒$_{a}$$( b^{x})$ = x × ㏒$_{a}$(b) to transform the expression.
㏒$_{5}$(2) + 2㏒$_{5}$(x) + ㏒$_{5}$(y)
This means that the expanded version of your expression is going to be ㏒$_{5}$(2) + 2㏒$_{5}$(x) + ㏒$_{5}$(y).
Let me know if you have any further questions.
