What is log b^b^6x equivalent to (the b is under log and ^b)? how do you know?

6x

Work Shown:

For each step, the logs are all base b. This is to save time and hassle of writing tricky notation of having to write the smaller subscript 'b' multiple times. The first rule to use is that log(x^y) = y*log(x) for any base of a logarithm. The second rule is that meaning that the log base of itself is 1

log(b^(6x)) = 6x*log(b) .... pull down exponent using the first rule above

log(b^(6x)) = 6x*1 .... use the second rule mentioned

log(b^(6x)) = 6x

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b
