$\log (\frac{a^{6}}{\sqrt{b^{3} c^{3}}})$

Step 1

Rewrite $\log (\frac{a^{6}}{\sqrt{b^{3} c^{3}}})$ as $\log (a^{6}) - \log (\sqrt{b^{3} c^{3}})$ .

$\log (a^{6}) - \log (\sqrt{b^{3} c^{3}})$

Step 2

Use $\sqrt[n]{a^{x}} = a^{\frac{x}{n}}$ to rewrite $\sqrt{b^{3} c^{3}}$ as ${(b^{3} c^{3})}^{\frac{1}{2}}$ .

$\log (a^{6}) - \log ({(b^{3} c^{3})}^{\frac{1}{2}})$

Step 3

Expand $\log (a^{6})$ by moving $6$ outside the logarithm.

$6 \log (a) - \log ({(b^{3} c^{3})}^{\frac{1}{2}})$

Step 4

Expand $\log ({(b^{3} c^{3})}^{\frac{1}{2}})$ by moving $\frac{1}{2}$ outside the logarithm.

$6 \log (a) - (\frac{1}{2} \log (b^{3} c^{3}))$

Step 5

Combine $\frac{1}{2}$ and $\log (b^{3} c^{3})$ .

$6 \log (a) - \frac{\log (b^{3} c^{3})}{2}$

Step 6

Rewrite $\log (b^{3} c^{3})$ as $\log (b^{3}) + \log (c^{3})$ .

$6 \log (a) - \frac{\log (b^{3}) + \log (c^{3})}{2}$

Step 7

Expand $\log (b^{3})$ by moving $3$ outside the logarithm.

$6 \log (a) - \frac{3 \log (b) + \log (c^{3})}{2}$

Step 8

Expand $\log (c^{3})$ by moving $3$ outside the logarithm.

$6 \log (a) - \frac{3 \log (b) + 3 \log (c)}{2}$

Step 9

Factor $3$ out of $3 \log (b) + 3 \log (c)$ .

$6 \log (a) - \frac{3 (\log (b) + \log (c))}{2}$

Step 10

To write $6 \log (a)$ as a fraction with a common denominator, multiply by $\frac{2}{2}$ .

$6 \log (a) \cdot \frac{2}{2} - \frac{3 (\log (b) + \log (c))}{2}$

Step 11

Combine $6 \log (a)$ and $\frac{2}{2}$ .

$\frac{6 \log (a) \cdot 2}{2} - \frac{3 (\log (b) + \log (c))}{2}$

Step 12

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

$\frac{6 \log (a) \cdot 2 - 3 (\log (b) + \log (c))}{2}$
