Examples

Example 1 Use the properties of logs to simplify the expression:

Since this expression involves adding two exponents, Product of a Power Property will be used.

Example 2 Use the properties of logs to simplify the expression:

Step 1. Use the properties of logs to eliminate the coefficient.

Since this expression involves multiplying a number by an exponent, Power to a Power Property will be used.

Step 2. Simplify to one log.
