Apply Power Rule: We can use the power rule of logarithms, which states that a⋅ln(b)=ln(ba), to rewrite each term.5ln2 becomes ln(25), 7lnx becomes ln(x7), and 4lny becomes ln(y4).
Apply Power Rule: Now we apply the power rule to each term:5ln2=ln(25)7lnx=ln(x7)4lny=ln(y4)
Combine Logs: Next, we use the property of logarithms that allows us to combine logs with the same base that are being added: ln(a)+ln(b)=ln(a⋅b). So, ln(25)+ln(x7)+ln(y4) becomes ln(25⋅x7⋅y4).
Perform Multiplication: We perform the multiplication inside the logarithm: ln(25×x7×y4)=ln(32×x7×y4).
