$\log (3^{\frac{1}{3}} x^{\frac{1}{3}}) + \frac{2}{3} \cdot \log (3 x)$

Step 1.3

Simplify $\frac{2}{3} \log (3 x)$ by moving $\frac{2}{3}$ inside the logarithm.

$\log (3^{\frac{1}{3}} x^{\frac{1}{3}}) + \log ({(3 x)}^{\frac{2}{3}})$

Step 1.4

Apply the product rule to $3 x$ .

$\log (3^{\frac{1}{3}} x^{\frac{1}{3}}) + \log (3^{\frac{2}{3}} x^{\frac{2}{3}})$

Step 2

Use the product property of logarithms, $\log_{b} (x) + \log_{b} (y) = \log_{b} (x y)$ .

$\log (3^{\frac{1}{3}} x^{\frac{1}{3}} (3^{\frac{2}{3}} x^{\frac{2}{3}}))$

Step 3
