Given $\log_b (2) = x$ and $\log_b (3) = y$. Find the following logarithms in terms of the $x$ and $y$. 1 $\log_b (144) =$ 2$\log_b (0.75) =$ 3 $\log_b (\sqrt{6b^{-5}}) =$ 4$\log_6 (9b) =$ Note: To input expressions like 5x input 5x not x5 (this is to save computer answer checking time). Similarly, to input $x + y - 4$, type $x + y - 4$ but not $-4 + x + y$ or $x - 4 + y$ (meaning constants comes after variables addition/subtraction). This is to save computer answer checking time. To input $\frac{x + y}{2}$ type $(x + y)/2$. Typing $x + y/2$ is incorrect as this is equal to $x + \frac{y}{2}$ not $\frac{x + y}{2}$. Therefore, make use of parentheses appropriately.
