Multiple Choice

Rewrite the expression as the sum and/or difference of logarithms, without using exponents. Simplify if possible.
- $\log _ { 2 } \frac { x ^ { 8 } y ^ { 7 } } { 5 }$

• A) \(8 \log _ { 2 } x - 7 \log _ { 2 } y - \log _ { 2 } 5\)
• B) \(8 \log _ { 2 } x + 7 \log _ { 2 } y - \log _ { 2 } 5\)
• C) \(\left( 8 \log _ { 2 } x \right) \left( 7 \log _ { 2 } y \right) - \log _ { 2 } 5\)
• D) \(8 \log _ { 2 } x + 7 \log _ { 2 } y + \log _ { 2 } 5\)
