log3 (7x) logb(ac^3)

I suppose that you want to practice the properties of
logarithms on the following logarithms:


log3 (7x) and logb
(a*c^3)


To calculate the 1st logarithm, we'll have to apply
the product property:


log3 (x*y) = log x + log
y


Comparing, we'll get:


log3
(7x) = log3 (7) + log3 (x)


We'll apply the same property
for the 2nd logarithm:


logb (a*c^3) = logb (a) + logb
(c^3)


We need to apply the power property, to the second
term of the sum:


logb (c^3) = 3*logb
(c)


We notice that the superscript goes down in front of
the logarithm.


logb (a*c^3) = logb (a) + 3*logb
(c)


Therefore, applying the proper
properties, the requested logarithms
are:


log3 (7x) = log3 (7) +
log3 (x) and logb (a*c^3) = logb (a) + 3*logb (c)

What accomplishments did Bill Clinton have as president?

Of course, Bill Clinton's presidency will be most clearly remembered for the fact that he was only the second president ever...
