Jul 2, 2018 #color(blue)(2/3lnx-lny)# Explanation: #root(3)(x^2/y^3)=(x^2/y^3)^(1/3)# By the laws of logarithms: #lna^b=blna# #ln(a/b)=lna-lnb# Hence: #ln(x^2/y^3)^(1/3)=1/3ln(x^2/y^3)=1/3ln(x^2)-1/3ln(y^3)# # \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \=2/3lnx-3/3lny# # \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \=2/3lnx-lny# Answer link Related questions What is the common logarithm of 10?
