log(base a)(a^4*b)-log(base a)(a*b)
= log(base a)[a^4b/ab]
= log(base a) (a^3)
The power to which a has to be raised to get a^3 is 3.
That is what log(base a) a^3 means.
The answer is 3.
Log(base a)(a^4*b)-Log(base a)(a*b) is the same as
a)4
b)3
c)3a
d)a^3
I got the answer as d since subtracting logs with the same base is division. However, the answer key saids its b, Can someone please help me with this?

Ooo right, my teacher mentioned that, guessed it slipped my mind. Thanks a lot. Diploma tomorrow :(
