Answer:

$\displaystyle y = x^{-\frac{2}{3}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Logarithms</u>

Some properties of logarithms will be useful to solve this problem:

1. $\log(pq)=\log p+\log q$

2. $\displaystyle \log_pq=\frac{1}{\log_qp}$

3. $\displaystyle \log p^q=q\log p$

We are given the equation:

$\displaystyle \log_{2}(x) = \frac{3}{ \log_{xy}(2) }$

Applying the second property:

$\displaystyle \log_{xy}(2)=\frac{1}{ \log_{2}(xy)}$

Substituting:

$\displaystyle \log_{2}(x) = 3\log_{2}(xy)$

Applying the first property:

$\displaystyle \log_{2}(x) = 3(\log_{2}(x)+\log_{2}(y))$

Operating:

$\displaystyle \log_{2}(x) = 3\log_{2}(x)+3\log_{2}(y)$

Rearranging:

$\displaystyle \log_{2}(x) - 3\log_{2}(x)=3\log_{2}(y)$

Simplifying:

$\displaystyle -2\log_{2}(x) =3\log_{2}(y)$

Dividing by 3:

$\displaystyle \log_{2}(y)=\frac{-2\log_{2}(x)}{3}$

Applying the third property:

$\displaystyle \log_{2}(y)=\log_{2}\left(x^{-\frac{2}{3}}\right)$

Applying inverse logs:

$\boxed{y = x^{-\frac{2}{3}}}$
