a) Use the Laws of Logarithms to expand the expression.
log(sqrt(x*sqrt(y*sqrt(z))))
b) Use the Laws of Logarithms to combine the expression.
2(log5x + 2log5y - 3log5z)
Solve the equation for x.
a) 3^(4x) - 3^(2x) - 6 = 0
b) log4(x+2) + log4(3) = log4(5) + log4(2x-3)
Application section 10.2
A gas station sells three types of gas: Regular for $3.00 a gallon, Performance plus for $3.20 a gallon, and Premium for $3.30 a gallon. On a particular day, 6500 gallons of gas were sold for a total of $20,050. Three times as many gallons of regular as Premium gas were sold. How many types of each gas were sold that day.
