Question

Expand each expression

Answer 1

`5\log(a)+2\log(b)`

Explanation:

The logarithm of a product is the sum of the logarithms:

`\log(a^5b^2) = \log(a^5)+\log(b^2)`

By the same rule, we have
`\log(a^n)=n\log(a)`:

`\log(a^5)+\log(b^2) = 5\log(a)+2\log(b)`

Answer 2

5log(a) +2log(b)

Explanation:

you were close, but you dont multiply the exponents together since a and b are two different variables
