Simplify each term.

Tap for more steps...

Step 1.1

Simplify $2 \log (6 y)$ by moving $2$ inside the logarithm.

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

Step 1.2

Apply the product rule to $6 y$ .

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

Step 1.3

Raise $6$ to the power of $2$ .

$\log (x) + \log (36 y^{2})$

Step 2

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

$\log (x (36 y^{2}))$

Step 3

Rewrite using the commutative property of multiplication.

$\log (36 x y^{2})$
