Answer

logc(u3v8)=3logc(u)+8logc(v)

Steps

Step 1 :The given expression is a logarithm of a product. According to the properties of logarithms, the logarithm of a product is equal to the sum of the logarithms of the individual factors.

Step 2 :Also, the logarithm of a power is equal to the product of the exponent and the logarithm of the base.

Step 3 :Therefore, we can rewrite the given expression as a sum of logarithms, where the powers are expressed as factors.

Step 4 :logc(u3v8)=3logc(u)+8logc(v)

Step 5 :logc(u3v8)=3logc(u)+8logc(v)
