Law of Logs 3

^{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^x^⁷^{as a sum, difference and/or constant multiple of logarithms.}

The third law because x⁷ is an exponential expressions, and the third law applies to such expressions.	Which of the above three laws is applicable to this problem?
^log3^x^⁷^{=7 log}3^x	Apply the third law of logarithms to log₃ x⁷.
