log √[5x] + log √[20x]
Note that we can use the properties
log a + log b = log [ a * b ] and log ab = b*log a
So we can write
log √[5x] + log √[20x] =
log (5x)1/2 + log (20x)1/2 =
(1/2) [ log (5x) + log (20x) ] =
(1/2) [ log (5x * 20x) ] =
(1/2) log ( 100 x2) =
log (100x2)1/2 =
log √ [ 100x2 ]
log (10x) which can also be simplified as
log 10 + log x =
1 + log x
