Logarithmic Properties in Delivery Operations

You are a junior operations specialist at a shipping and delivery services provider. Your department uses software that models delivery delays using the logarithmic index log3(7x5y3)\log_3(7x^5y^3). During a technical onboarding seminar, the instructor asks you to recall the specific algebraic properties of logarithms required to expand this model for easier database processing.

Write a short response in which you:

  1. State the name of the logarithmic property that allows you to rewrite the logarithm of a product as a sum of individual logarithms, and write its general algebraic formula.
  2. State the name of the logarithmic property that allows you to bring exponents to the front of their respective logarithms as coefficients, and write its general algebraic formula.
  3. Identify which components of the expression log3(7x5y3)\log_3(7x^5y^3) each of these two properties directly applies to.
