Confused

1.Describe the changes to the graph of y = log4x when x is replaced by 16x2
2.Describe the steps you would say over the phone to explain how to solve the equation log3x +log3(x+2)=1

thanks in advance

Is that Log(4x) or Log(base 4) of x? Do you mean 32 by 16x2 or 32x?

Can you please clarify your numbers.

log(base 4) and its 16x^2

Well, how does log(base 4)(x) compare to log(base 4)(16*x^2)? Use the rules of logs. Like log(a*b)=log(a)+log(b).
