Given that logp = 2 logx + 3logq, which of the following expresses p in terms of x and q?
Answer Details
We are given the equation: log p = 2 log x + 3 log q. We know that log a + log b = log(ab) and log a - log b = log(a/b). Using these properties, we can rewrite the given equation as follows: log p = log x^2 + log q^3 log p = log (x^2q^3) Now we can write the exponential form of this equation as: p = x^2q^3 Therefore, the expression for p in terms of x and q is p = x^2q^3. Hence, the correct answer is "p = x^2q^3".
