Answer:
5log(a) +2log(b)
Step-by-step explanation:
you were close, but you dont multiply the exponents together since a and b are two different variables
Answer:
[tex]5\log(a)+2\log(b)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The logarithm of a product is the sum of the logarithms:
[tex]\log(a^5b^2) = \log(a^5)+\log(b^2)[/tex]
By the same rule, we have [tex]\log(a^n)=n\log(a)[/tex]:
[tex]\log(a^5)+\log(b^2) = 5\log(a)+2\log(b)[/tex]
