STEP 1

What is this asking? We need to rewrite each logarithmic expression as a *single* logarithm and simplify it.
Basically, we're going to combine those separate logs into one super log! Watch out! Remember the properties of logarithms!
We'll be using the power rule and the product and quotient rules.
Don't mix them up!

STEP 2

1. Problem 1
2. Problem 2
3. Problem 3
4. Problem 4
5. Problem 5

STEP 3

We're starting with 8logby+6logbz8 \log_{b} y + 6 \log_{b} z.
Our goal is to combine these two logarithms.

STEP 4

First, let's use the **power rule**: nlogax=logaxnn \log_{a} x = \log_{a} x^n.
This rule lets us move the coefficients of the logarithms up as exponents.
So, we have logby8+logbz6\log_{b} y^8 + \log_{b} z^6.
See how the **8** and **6** moved up?

STEP 5

Now, we can use the **product rule**: logax+logay=loga(xy)\log_{a} x + \log_{a} y = \log_{a} (x \cdot y).
This lets us combine the sum of two logarithms with the same base into a single logarithm of the product.
Applying this rule gives us logb(y8z6)\log_{b}(y^8 \cdot z^6).
Awesome!

STEP 6

We have 6log8m5log8n6 \log_{8} m - 5 \log_{8} n.
Just like before, we'll start with the **power rule**.

STEP 7

Moving the coefficients up as exponents, we get log8m6log8n5\log_{8} m^6 - \log_{8} n^5.

STEP 8

This time, we'll use the **quotient rule**: logaxlogay=logaxy\log_{a} x - \log_{a} y = \log_{a} \frac{x}{y}.
This lets us combine the difference of two logarithms with the same base into a single logarithm of the quotient.
So, we have log8m6n5\log_{8} \frac{m^6}{n^5}.
Perfect!

STEP 9

We're given log3x4log3y8log3z\log_{3} x - 4 \log_{3} y - 8 \log_{3} z.
Let's use that **power rule** again!

STEP 10

Moving the coefficients, we get log3xlog3y4log3z8\log_{3} x - \log_{3} y^4 - \log_{3} z^8.

STEP 11

Applying the **quotient rule** twice, we have log3xy4log3z8\log_{3} \frac{x}{y^4} - \log_{3} z^8, which simplifies to log3xy4z8\log_{3} \frac{x}{y^4 \cdot z^8}.
Fantastic!

STEP 12

We have 5log9m4log9n5 \log_{9} m - 4 \log_{9} n. **Power rule** time!

STEP 13

Moving those coefficients, we get log9m5log9n4\log_{9} m^5 - \log_{9} n^4.

STEP 14

Using the **quotient rule**, we get log9m5n4\log_{9} \frac{m^5}{n^4}.
Wonderful!

STEP 15

We're given 5log4t4log4u2log4v5 \log_{4} t - 4 \log_{4} u - 2 \log_{4} v. **Power rule**, here we come!

STEP 16

Moving the coefficients gives us log4t5log4u4log4v2\log_{4} t^5 - \log_{4} u^4 - \log_{4} v^2.

STEP 17

Applying the **quotient rule** twice, we have log4t5u4log4v2\log_{4} \frac{t^5}{u^4} - \log_{4} v^2, which simplifies to log4t5u4v2\log_{4} \frac{t^5}{u^4 \cdot v^2}.
Super!

STEP 18

1. logb(y8z6)\log_{b}(y^8 \cdot z^6)
2. log8m6n5\log_{8} \frac{m^6}{n^5}
3. log3xy4z8\log_{3} \frac{x}{y^4 \cdot z^8}
4. log9m5n4\log_{9} \frac{m^5}{n^4}
5. log4t5u4v2\log_{4} \frac{t^5}{u^4 \cdot v^2}
