Assuming All Variables Are Positive, Use Properties of Logarithms to Write

Multiple Choice

Assuming all variables are positive, use properties of logarithms to write the expression as a sum or difference of
logarithms or multiples of logarithms.
- $\log _ { 3 } \left( \frac { x ^ { 5 } y ^ { 2 } } { 8 } \right)$

A) $5 \log _ { 3 } x - 2 \log _ { 3 } y - \log _ { 3 } 8$
B) $\left( 5 \log _ { 3 } x \right) \left( 2 \log _ { 3 } y \right) - \log _ { 3 } 8$
C) $5 \log _ { 3 } x + 2 \log _ { 3 } y + \log _ { 3 } 8$
D) $5 \log _ { 3 } x + 2 \log _ { 3 } y - \log _ { 3 } 8$
