Each term has a common base. This is base 10

We would apply the rule of logarithm which is expressed as

log m + log n = log(m*n)

log m - log n = log(m/n)

klog m = log m^k

By applying the third rule, the expression becomes

log x^2 + log y^4 - log c^3

Applying the first and second rule, it becomes

log [(x^2*y^4)/c^3]
