**Problem 4: Expand into sums and/or differences of logarithms**

(a) \(\log_x \left(\frac{x}{y\sqrt{z}}\right)\)

*Solution Tip:* Apply the properties of logarithms to simplify expressions:
- The logarithm of a quotient: \(\log_b \left(\frac{M}{N}\right) = \log_b M - \log_b N\)
- The logarithm of a power: \(\log_b (M^n) = n \cdot \log_b M\)
- The logarithm of a product: \(\log_b(M \cdot N) = \log_b M + \log_b N\)
