Which rules of exponents will be used to evaluate this expression? Check all that apply. [(-8)915
(-8)
product of powers
quotient of powers
power of a power
power of a product
negative exponent
zero exponent

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:

should have been evaluated with one odd value and one even value. the expressions have equivalent values when . when , the first expression has a value of 3 and the second
