How do you solve log(y)=14log16+12log49? Precalculus Solving Exponential and Logarithmic Equations Logarithmic Models 1 Answer George C. Aug 2, 2015 logy=14log16+12log49=log2+log7=log14 So y=14 Explanation: If a>0 then logab=bloga If a,b>0 then logab=loga+logb So: logy=14log16+12log49=14log24+12log72 =14⋅4log2+12⋅2log7=log2+log7=log(2⋅7) =log14 That is: logy=log14 If loga=logb then a=b So y=14 Answer link Related questions What is a logarithmic model?
