Simplify each term.

Tap for more steps...

Step 1.1

Simplify $2 \log (x)$ by moving $2$ inside the logarithm.

$\log (x^{2}) + 3 \log (y) - 6 \log (z)$

Step 1.2

Simplify $3 \log (y)$ by moving $3$ inside the logarithm.

$\log (x^{2}) + \log (y^{3}) - 6 \log (z)$

Step 1.3

Simplify $- 6 \log (z)$ by moving $6$ inside the logarithm.

$\log (x^{2}) + \log (y^{3}) - \log (z^{6})$

Step 2

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

$\log (x^{2} y^{3}) - \log (z^{6})$

Step 3

Use the quotient property of logarithms, $\log_{b} (x) - \log_{b} (y) = \log_{b} (\frac{x}{y})$ .

$\log (\frac{x^{2} y^{3}}{z^{6}})$
