Multiple Choice

Write the expression as a single logarithm with coefficient 1. Assume all variables represent positive real numbers.
- $$\frac { 3 } { 4 } \log _ { a } \left( p ^ { 2 } q ^ { 8 } \right) - \frac { 1 } { 2 } \log _ { a } \left( p ^ { 5 } q ^ { 2 } \right)$$

• A) \(\log _ { a } \left( p ^ { 4 } q ^ { 7 } \right)\)
• B) \(\log _ { a } \left( \frac { q ^ { 5 } } { p } \right)\)
• C) \(\log _ { \mathrm { a } } \left( \frac { 3 } { 4 } \mathrm { p } ^ { 2 } \mathrm { q } ^ { 8 } - \frac { 1 } { 2 } \mathrm { p } ^ { 5 } \mathrm { q } ^ { 2 } \right)\)
• D) \(\log _ { a } \left( \frac { 3 q ^ { 6 } } { 2 p ^ { 3 } } \right)\)
