QuestionUse properties of logarithms to condense the logarithmic expression. Write the expression as a single logarithm whose coefricients $$5 \log _{b} x+3 \log _{b} z$$ $\square$

Studdy Solution
Use the product rule of logarithms, which states that $\log_b M + \log_b N = \log_b (M \times N)$, to combine the terms:
$$\log_b x^5 + \log_b z^3 = \log_b (x^5 \times z^3)$$
The expression as a single logarithm is:
$$\log_b (x^5 z^3)$$
