Answer :
Answer:
24
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following logarithmic expressions [tex]log_ax = 3, log_ay = 7, log_az = -2[/tex], we are to find the value of [tex]log_a(\frac{x^3y}{z^4} )[/tex]
[tex]from\ log_ax = 3, x = a^3\\\\from\ log_ay = 7,y = a^7\\\\from\ log_az = -2, z = a^{-2}[/tex]Substituting x = a³, y = a⁷ and z = a⁻² into the log function [tex]log_a(\frac{x^3y}{z^4} )[/tex] we will have;
[tex]= log_a(\frac{x^3y}{z^4} )\\\\= log_a(\dfrac{(a^3)^3*a^7}{(a^{-2})^4} )\\\\= log_a(\dfrac{a^9*a^7}{a^{-8}} )\\\\= log_a\dfrac{a^{16}}{a^{-8}} \\\\= log_aa^{16+8}\\\\= log_aa^{24}\\\\= 24log_aa\\\\= 24* 1\\\\= 24[/tex]
Hence, the value of the logarithm expression is 24
