$\log (\frac{\sqrt[3]{x z^{2}}}{\sqrt{y}})$

Step 1

Rewrite $\log (\frac{\sqrt[3]{x z^{2}}}{\sqrt{y}})$ as $\log (\sqrt[3]{x z^{2}}) - \log (\sqrt{y})$ .

$\log (\sqrt[3]{x z^{2}}) - \log (\sqrt{y})$

Step 2

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

$\log ({(x z^{2})}^{\frac{1}{3}}) - \log (\sqrt{y})$

Step 3

Use $\sqrt[n]{a^{x}} = a^{\frac{x}{n}}$ to rewrite $\sqrt{y}$ as $y^{\frac{1}{2}}$ .

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

Step 4

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

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

Step 5

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

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

Step 6

Combine $\frac{1}{2}$ and $\log (y)$ .

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

Step 7

Rewrite $\log (x z^{2})$ as $\log (x) + \log (z^{2})$ .

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

Step 8

Expand $\log (z^{2})$ by moving $2$ outside the logarithm.

$\frac{1}{3} (\log (x) + 2 \log (z)) - \frac{\log (y)}{2}$
