Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression = [tex]log_b\frac{x}{y}[/tex]

To Prove : a) [tex]log_b\frac{x}{y}=log_bx+log_by^{-1} [/tex]

                  b)[tex]log_b\frac{x}{y}=log_bx-log_by[/tex]

                  c) [tex]log_b\frac{x}{y}=log_bxy^{-1} [/tex]

                  d)  [tex]log_b\frac{x}{y}=log_bx-1log_by[/tex]

Solution :

a) [tex]log_b\frac{x}{y}=log_bx+log_by^{-1} [/tex]

[tex]LHS = log_b\frac{x}{y}[/tex]

Using identity [tex]\frac{1}{y} = y^{-1}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]LHS = log_bxy^{-1}[/tex]

Using identity :  [tex]log_bmn = log_bm +log_bn[/tex]

⇒ [tex]LHS =log_bx+log_by^{-1}[/tex]

Hence LHS = RHS

Hence proved.

b) [tex]log_b\frac{x}{y}=log_bx-log_by[/tex]

[tex]LHS = log_b\frac{x}{y}[/tex]

Using identity : [tex]log_b\frac{m}{n} = log_bm -log_bn[/tex]

⇒ [tex] LHS=log_bx-log_by[/tex]

LHS= RHS

Hence proved.

c)[tex]log_b\frac{x}{y}=log_bxy^{-1} [/tex]

[tex]LHS = log_b\frac{x}{y}[/tex]

Using identity [tex]\frac{1}{y} = y^{-1}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]LHS = log_bxy^{-1} [/tex]

LHS=RHS

Hence proved .

d) [tex]log_b\frac{x}{y}=log_bx-1log_by[/tex]

[tex]LHS = log_b\frac{x}{y}[/tex]

Using part a

⇒ [tex]LHS =log_bx+log_by^{-1}[/tex]

Using identity : [tex]log_bm^{-1} = -1log_bm[/tex]

⇒ [tex]LHS=log_bx-1log_by[/tex]

LHS = RHS

Hence proved
