We can expand the logarithm of a product as a sum of logarithms:

Then using the change of base formula, we can derive the relationship

This immediately tells us that

Notice that none of
can be equal to 1. This is because

for any choice of
. This means we can safely do the following without worrying about division by 0.

so that

Similarly,

so that

So we end up with

###
Another way to do this:



Then

So we have

Answer: Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Substitute 1 for x
2. 6 times 1 is 6 plus 2 is 8
3.8 is equal to or greater than 8
(c+8)(c-8)
3(2y+5)(2y-5)
There are no like terms so it's still ab^2-b
