Use the Properties of Logarithms to Rewrite $\log _ { 2 } \frac { 8 x } { y }$

Multiple Choice

Use the properties of logarithms to rewrite $\log _ { 2 } \frac { 8 x } { y }$ . Simplify, if possible. Assume x and y are positive numbers.

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