$\frac{1}{2} \cdot (\log_{2} (a) + \log_{2} (b))$

Step 1

Apply the distributive property.

$\frac{1}{2} \log_{2} (a) + \frac{1}{2} \log_{2} (b)$

Step 2

Combine $\frac{1}{2}$ and $\log_{2} (a)$ .

$\frac{\log_{2} (a)}{2} + \frac{1}{2} \log_{2} (b)$

Step 3

Combine $\frac{1}{2}$ and $\log_{2} (b)$ .

$\frac{\log_{2} (a)}{2} + \frac{\log_{2} (b)}{2}$
