Question

Hello! I need some assistance with this homework question for precalculus, please?HW Q25

Answer 1

The quotient property of the logarithmic function is

`log_b((M)/(N))=log_b(M)-log_b(N)`

Therefore, in our case,

`\Rightarrow log_a((M)/(N))=log_a(M)-log_a(N)`

Thus, the answer to (1) is log_a(M) (third option), while the answer to (2) is log_a(N)(third option too)
