Law of Logs 1

^{Laws of Logarithms}

^{Laws of Logarithms:

1. log}a^{(u
v) = log}a^{(u)
+ log}a^{(v)
{The log of a product equals the sum of the logs.}

2. log}a^{(u/v)
= log}a^{(u)
- log}a^{(v)
{The log of a quotient equals the difference of the logs.}

3. log}a^(u^{^r}^{) = r log}a^(u)

^{Write log}3^{7x as a sum, difference
and/or constant multiple of logarithm.}

The first law because 7x is a product, and the first law applies to logs of products.	Which of the above three laws is applicable to this problem?
^{Show work.}	Apply the first law of logarithms to log₃ 7x .
