question 20

Multiple Choice

Use the properties of logarithms to rewrite the expression. Simplify the result if possible. Assume all variables represent positive real numbers.
- $\log b \sqrt { \frac { 4 x ^ { 8 } } { z ^ { 4 } } }$

• A) \(\log _ { b } 2 \cdot 4 \log _ { b } x - 2 \log _ { b } z\)
• B) \(\sqrt { \log _ { \mathrm { b } } 4 } + \sqrt { \log _ { \mathrm { b } } \mathrm { x } ^ { 8 } } - \sqrt { \log _ { \mathrm { b } } \mathrm { z } ^ { 4 } }\)
• C) \(\log _ { b } 2 + 4 \log _ { b } x - 2 \log _ { b } z\)
• D) \(\left( \log _ { b } 2 + + 4 \log _ { b } x \right) \div 2 \log _ { b } z\)

Definitions:

Tyrosine

An amino acid that serves as a precursor to several important neurotransmitters, including dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine.

Metabotropic Receptor

Embedded membrane protein with a binding site for a neurotransmitter linked to a G protein; can affect other receptors or act with second messengers to affect other cellular processes, including opening a pore.

Membrane-Spanning Proteins

Proteins that penetrate through the lipid bilayer of cell membranes, often functioning as receptors or channels.

Parkinson Disease

A progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor symptoms such as tremors, stiffness, and bradykinesia, due to the loss of dopamine-producing cells in the brain.
