log_b(sqrt(3x)/Z^3)logb(3xZ3)

Explanation:

Since xlogy=logy^xxlogy=logyx, we can write:

log_bsqrt(3)+log_bsqrt(x)-log_bZ^3logb3+logbxlogbZ3

Since loga+logb=log(ab)loga+logb=log(ab), we write:

log_bsqrt(3x)-log_bZ^3logb3xlogbZ3

Since loga-logb=log(a/b)logalogb=log(ab), we can write:

log_b(sqrt(3x)/Z^3)logb(3xZ3)
