Answer:

Expanded form:
\Rightarrow \log_3d-2\log_32-1

Explanation:

Given:
\log_3(d)/(12)

Subtraction property of log: log a/b = log a - log b

Addition property of log: log(ab) = log a+ log b


\log_aa=1


\log_ab^m=m\log_ab


\log_3(d)/(12)=\log_3d-\log_312 (Subtraction property )


\Rightarrow \log_3d-\log_3(4* 3)


\Rightarrow \log_3d-(\log_34+\log_33) (Addition Property)


\Rightarrow \log_3d-\log_34-\log_33 (Distributive property)


\Rightarrow \log_3d-\log_34-1 (
\log_aa=1
)


\Rightarrow \log_3d-2\log_32-1

The expanded form of
\log_3(d)/(12) is


\Rightarrow \log_3d-2\log_32-1

Hence, Expanded form:
\Rightarrow \log_3d-2\log_32-1
