Note, Also, square root of m = m^1/2

This means that the expression would be

logb (x^1/2 * y)/(z^2 * w)

Recall the laws of logarithm which are expressed as

logb mn = logb m + logb n

logb m/n = logb m - logb n

logb m^n = nlog m

where b is the base

By applying these laws, we have

1/2logb x + logb y - 2logb z - logb w

= (1/2logb x + logb y) - (2logb z + logb w)
