The required answer is log(5)+log(4x+y).
The basic logarithmic function is of the form f(x) = logₐx(r)n = logₐx, where a > 0. It is the inverse of the exponential function aⁿ = x. Log functions include natural logarithm (ln) or common logarithm (log). Logarithmic functions is very useful in various mathematical computations.
Given that, log(20x+5y) and we have to expand it by using the properties of logarithms. So, let's proceed to solve the question.
log(20x+5y)
we can write 20 in terms of powers like 20 = (2²)x5
log((2².5)x+5y)
log(5(2².5x/5+5y/5))
log(5(2²x+y))
log(5(4x+y))
∵ log(ab) = log(a)+log(b)
⇒log(5(4x+y)) = log(5)+log(4x+y)
Hence, on expanding log(20x+5y) by using the properties of logarithms we get log(5)+log(4x+y) as our required answer.
