Answer:

log₁₀(M) + log₁₀(N)

Explanation:

The rules of logarithms tell you ...

log(ab) = log(a) +log(b) . . . . . base of logarithms the same in each case

When your log is log₁₀ and a=M and b=N, this becomes ...

log₁₀(MN) = log₁₀(M) + log₁₀(N)

_____

Some functions are not always written with their arguments in parentheses. I believe it avoids ambiguity to put function arguments in parentheses, so I have done that here. It appears your answer form may want you to write ...

log₁₀M+log₁₀N . . . . . I don't recommend this form
