To combine the expression \( \log_3 z + \log_3 2 + \log_3 4 \) into a single logarithm, we can use the properties of logarithms, specifically:
- \( \log_b a + \log_b c = \log_b (a \cdot c) \)
Let's apply this property step by step:
- Combine \( \log_3 z \) and \( \log_3 2 \):
\[ \log_3 z + \log_3 2 = \log_3 (z \cdot 2) = \log_3 (2z) \]
- Now combine \( \log_3 (2z) \) and \( \log_3 4 \):
\[ \log_3 (2z) + \log_3 4 = \log_3 ((2z) \cdot 4) = \log_3 (8z) \]
So, the expression \( \log_3 z + \log_3 2 + \log_3 4 \) can be rewritten as:
\[ \log_3 (8z) \]
Thus, the final answer is:
\[ \log_3(8z) \]
