To rewrite \( \log(r^3 n^2) \) using the properties of logarithms, we can apply the product and power rules.

The logarithm of a product can be expressed as the sum of the logarithms:

\[ \log(a \cdot b) = \log(a) + \log(b) \]

And the power rule applies as follows:

\[ \log(a^b) = b \cdot \log(a) \]

Now, applying these rules to \( \log(r^3 n^2) \):

  1. Start with the expression: \[ \log(r^3 n^2) \]

  2. Use the product rule: \[ = \log(r^3) + \log(n^2) \]

  3. Apply the power rule: \[ = 3\log(r) + 2\log(n) \]

So, the final rewritten form of \( \log(r^3 n^2) \) is:

\[ 3\log(r) + 2\log(n) \]

Therefore, the correct response is:

3logr + 2logn
