Rewrite f(x)=log(x100−110)

using the properties of logarithms.(1 point)

To rewrite the function \( f(x) = \log(x^{100} - 110) \) using the properties of logarithms, we need to recognize that this expression is already in a logarithmic form. However, we can simplify it further if we separate the logarithm of a product or quotient if applicable:

  1. First, notice that \( f(x) \) does not lend itself directly to standard logarithmic properties like the product or quotient rules since it contains a subtraction inside the logarithm.

  2. However, if we assume \( x^{100} \) is significantly larger than 110 for large values of \( x \), the expression can be approximated, but it's important to note that this is not technically rewriting using properties of logarithms.

  3. Ultimately, if you simply want to factor out whatever can be made simpler, unfortunately, you cannot split \( \log(a - b) \) unless \( b \) can be expressed as \( a \) in another form, which is not possible here.

Thus, the most we can do without departing from strict logarithmic properties seems to be leaving it as is:

\[ f(x) = \log(x^{100} - 110) \]

No further simplification using the properties of logarithms applies directly here. If the function \( f(x) \) is meant to be analyzed in terms of limits or approximate behaviors, that's a different approach, but it won't change the basic logarithmic structure.
