Use the properties of logarithms to rewrite the expression. Simplify the result as much as possible. Assume all variables represent positive real numbers.
\[
\log _{m} \sqrt{\frac{5 r^{5}}{z^{7}}}
\]
Choose the correct answer.
Finally, we simplify the expression to get the final answer: \(\boxed{\frac{\log _{m} 5+\log _{m} r^{5}-\log _{m} z^{7}}{2}}\)
Step 1 :Given the expression \(\log _{m} \sqrt{\frac{5 r^{5}}{z^{7}}}\)
Step 2 :We can use the properties of logarithms to simplify this expression. The properties we will use are:
Step 3 :1. The square root of a number is the same as raising that number to the power of 1/2.
Step 4 :2. The logarithm of a quotient is the difference of the logarithms of the numerator and the denominator.
Step 5 :3. The logarithm of a product is the sum of the logarithms of the factors.
Step 6 :4. The logarithm of a power is the product of the power and the logarithm of the base.
Step 7 :Using these properties, we can simplify the given expression.
Step 8 :First, we replace the square root with a power of 1/2: \(\log _{m} (\frac{5 r^{5}}{z^{7}})^{1/2}\)
Step 9 :Next, we express the logarithm of the quotient as the difference of the logarithms: \(\frac{1}{2} (\log _{m} 5 r^{5} - \log _{m} z^{7})\)
Step 10 :Then, we express the logarithm of the product as the sum of the logarithms: \(\frac{1}{2} (\log _{m} 5 + \log _{m} r^{5} - \log _{m} z^{7})\)
Step 11 :Finally, we simplify the expression to get the final answer: \(\boxed{\frac{\log _{m} 5+\log _{m} r^{5}-\log _{m} z^{7}}{2}}\)
