question 127

Multiple Choice

Use properties of logarithms to condense the logarithmic expression. Write the expression as a single logarithm
whose coefficient is 1. Where possible, evaluate logarithmic expressions.

• A) \(\log \frac { x ( x + 2 ) } { 3 }\)
• B) \(\log \frac { x ( x - 4 ) } { 3 ( x - 2 ) }\)
• C) \(\log \frac { x ( x - 4 ) ( x - 2 ) } { 3 }\)
• D) \(\log \frac { 2 x + 2 ) } { 5 - x }\)
