Q. Condense the logarithm\newline8logc4logd 8 \log c-4 \log d \newlineAnswer: log() \log (\square)
  1. Apply Power Rule: We are given the expression 8logc4logd8\log c - 4\log d and we need to condense it into a single logarithm.\newlineAccording to the power rule of logarithms, alogb(x)=logb(xa)a\log_b(x) = \log_b(x^a), we can apply this rule to both terms.
  2. Combine Terms: Apply the power rule to the first term: 8logc8\log c becomes log(c8)\log(c^8). Apply the power rule to the second term: 4logd4\log d becomes log(d4)\log(d^4).
  3. Apply Quotient Rule: Now we have log(c8)log(d4)\log(c^8) - \log(d^4). According to the quotient rule of logarithms, logb(x)logb(y)=logb(xy)\log_b(x) - \log_b(y) = \log_b\left(\frac{x}{y}\right), we can combine these two logarithms into one.
  4. Final Condensed Form: Combine the two logarithms using the quotient rule: log(c8)log(d4)\log(c^8) - \log(d^4) becomes log(c8d4)\log\left(\frac{c^8}{d^4}\right).
  5. Final Condensed Form: Combine the two logarithms using the quotient rule: log(c8)log(d4)\log(c^8) - \log(d^4) becomes log(c8d4)\log\left(\frac{c^8}{d^4}\right).The expression is now fully condensed into a single logarithm.
