How else can you write log(x^n)?

And how else can you write x*sqrt(x)?

Have you ever worked with powers and logs before? Because these are essentially the basic properties of both.... if you really have no idea, assuming you're doing this for schoolwork, you're going to need to do a lot of studying to catch back up. I'll give you the basic properties that are necessary, then you can try and figure out how to apply them here:

log(x*y) = log(x) * log(y)

x^(a)*x^(b) = x^(a+b)

and sqrt(x) = x^(1/2)
