Answer:
[tex]\log_2\dfrac{x^2z}{y^2}+\log_9x^{12}y^4[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Log laws
[tex]\textsf{Product law}: \quad \log_axy=\log_ax + \log_ay[/tex]
[tex]\textsf{Quotient law}: \quad \log_a\frac{x}{y}=\log_ax - \log_ay[/tex]
[tex]\textsf{Power law}: \quad \log_ax^n=n\log_ax[/tex]
Given expression:
[tex]\log_2z+2\log_2x+4\log_9y+12\log_9x-2\log_2y[/tex]
Group terms with same log base:
[tex]\implies \log_2z+2\log_2x-2\log_2y+4\log_9y+12\log_9x[/tex]
Apply the power law:
[tex]\implies \log_2z+\log_2x^2-\log_2y^2+\log_9y^4+\log_9x^{12}[/tex]
Apply the product law:
[tex]\implies \log_2x^2z-\log_2y^2+\log_9x^{12}y^4[/tex]
Apply the quotient law:
[tex]\implies \log_2\dfrac{x^2z}{y^2}+\log_9x^{12}y^4[/tex]
