For this case we must find an expression equivalent to:

So:
We expanded
by moving 2 out of the logarithm:

By definition of logarithm properties we have to:
The logarithm of a product is equal to the sum of the logarithms of each factor:

The logarithm of a division is equal to the difference of logarithms of the numerator and denominator.

Then, rewriting the expression:

We apply distributive property:

Answer:
An equivalent expression is:

Answer:
x^2 + 8x + 16
Step-by-step explanation:
(x + 4) (x+ 4) multiply x by x and x by 4.
x^2 + 4x
Then multiply 4 by x and 4 by 4.
4x + 16
Then combine like terms.
x^2 + 4x + 4x +16
x^2 + 8x + 16
Answer is -2(3p+10)
hope this helps :)
2+(-3) = -1
2- 3 = -1
-1=-1
The question is why though ?
It is because you keep the negative exponent which is with the biggest number. So this is how its look like +2 -3, so 3 is bigger then 2 so for that reason you keep the negative sign.
I hope that's help:)
