Expand the Logarithmic Expression log base 2 of (xy)^10

Problem

(log_2)((x*y)10)

Solution

1. Apply the power rule for logarithms, which states that (log_b)(Mp)=p*(log_b)(M)

(log_2)((x*y)10)=10*(log_2)(x*y)

2. Apply the product rule for logarithms, which states that (log_b)(M*N)=(log_b)(M)+(log_b)(N)

10*(log_2)(x*y)=10*((log_2)(x)+(log_2)(y))

3. Distribute the constant factor to both terms inside the parentheses.

10*((log_2)(x)+(log_2)(y))=10*(log_2)(x)+10*(log_2)(y)

Final Answer

(log_2)((x*y)10)=10*(log_2)(x)+10*(log_2)(y)
