5/11 = 18/y
5 y = 18 · 11
5 y = 198
y = 198 : 5
y = 39.6
Log w (x^2-6)^4
Using log a b = log a + log b, with a=w and b=(x^-6)^4:
log w (x^2-6)^4 = log w + log (x^2-6)^4
Using in the second term log a^b = b log a, with a=x^2-6 and b=4
log w (x^2-6)^4 = log w + log (x^2-6)^4 = log w + 4 log (x^2-6)
Then, the answer is:
log w (x^2-6)^4 = log w + 4 log (x^2-6)
1 mile = 5280 feet, so we multiply 6.25 by 5280 to get 33000 feet. 1 yard = 3 feet, so we divide 3 by 33000 to get 11000 yards.
