Question
**Expanding Logarithmic Expressions**

Use the properties of logarithms to expand each expression in terms of simpler logarithms. Assume that all variable expressions denote positive numbers.

Expression:

\[
\log \left( \frac{a^5 \sqrt{b}}{a+b} \right) = \underline{\quad} \cdot \log(\phantom{x}) + \underline{\quad} \cdot \log(\phantom{x}) - \log(\phantom{x})
\]

**Answers**

| Step | Answer |
|------|--------|
| 1    | -      |
| 2    | -      |
| 3    | -      |
| 4    | -      |

**Instructions and Explanation:**

1. Identify the expression inside the log and break it into factors.
2. Apply the logarithm power rule: \(\log(x^n) = n \cdot \log(x)\).
3. Apply the logarithm product rule: \(\log(x \cdot y) = \log(x) + \log(y)\).
4. Apply the logarithm quotient rule: \(\log\left(\frac{x}{y}\right) = \log(x) - \log(y)\).

Fill out the blanks with the appropriate expressions using these rules. Remember to adjust exponents when applying the power rule and ensure all variable expressions remain positive.
