Use Properties of Logarithms to Condense the Logarithmic Expression $5 \log _ { \mathrm { b } } \mathrm { y } + 8 \log _ { \mathrm { b } } \mathrm { z }$

Multiple Choice

Use properties of logarithms to condense the logarithmic expression. Write the expression as a single logarithm
whose coefficient is 1. Where possible, evaluate logarithmic expressions.
- $5 \log _ { \mathrm { b } } \mathrm { y } + 8 \log _ { \mathrm { b } } \mathrm { z }$

A) $\log _ { b } y ^ { 5 } z$
B) $13 \log _ { b } y z$
C) $\log _ { b } ( y z ) ^ { 13 }$
D) $40 \log _ { \mathrm { b } } \mathrm { yz }$
