Ok, so would LOGa(x^2/yz^3) = 2LOGaX - 3LOGaY + 3LOGaZ?

What rolls down stairs
alone or in pairs,
and over your neighbor's dog?

What's great for a snack,
And fits on your back?
It's log, log, log

It's log, it's log,
It's big, it's heavy, it's wood.
It's log, it's log, it's better than bad, it's good."

Everyone wants a log
You're gonna love it, log
Come on and get your log
Everyone needs a log
log log log
I'm feeling in a meeting @ barin right now..

lol, you said GaY

seriously : it depends whether it's (yz)^3, ie. (y^3 times z^3), or (y times z^3) ; i'll assume it's the first one (ie. the exponent is applied to both y and z)

note that you don't care about the base "a" of the log, since it's always the same.

then you just apply the logarithmic identities :

log(x^2 / (yz)^3) = log(x^2) - log((yz)^3)
= 2log(x) - log((yz)^3)
= 2log(x) - log(y^3 times z^3)
= 2log(x) - (log(y^3) + log(z^3))
= 2log(x) - 3log(y) - 3log(z)

Thus you get the initial equality rewritten as :
2log(x) - 3log(y) - 3log(z) = 2log(x) - 3log(y) + 3log(z)

which you easily simplify as :

-3log(z) = 3log(z)

which you can write :

-6log(z) = 0, ie. log(z)=0

So the answer is yes if and only if log(z)=0 : this can never happen, since logarithms (in any base) have an asymptote whose equation is "x=0", ie. the vertical axis. The asymptote means that it's a limit value that's never actually reached.

I thought that's what i said =p As for not needing the to write the base, i was told to whenever it's given, but i understand why its not important in this case.

i think there were several words missing in your post but i guess i got what you meant after reading it twice :P

ok so the second half of the proof i wrote is useless for you here, hence the answer to your initial question is yes.
