Answer

Next, apply the power rule of logarithms to bring down the exponent in log2(x3): log2(16x3)=4+3log2(x)

Steps

Step 1 :Applying the properties of logarithms, we can break the logarithm apart into the sum of two separate logs: log2(16x3)=log2(16)+log2(x3)

Step 2 :Now simplify log2(16) to 4 because 2 raised to the power of 4 equals 16: log2(16x3)=4+log2(x3)

Step 3 :Next, apply the power rule of logarithms to bring down the exponent in log2(x3): log2(16x3)=4+3log2(x)
