Answer

$\dfrac{1}{3}\log_a x+2\log_a z\Rightarrow \log_a (x^{1/3}z^2) $.

Work Step by Step

Using the properties of logarithms, the given expression, $\dfrac{1}{3}\log_a x+2\log_a z,$ is equivalent to \begin{align*} & \log_a x^{1/3}+\log_a z^2 &(\log x^y=y\log x) \\&= \log_a (x^{1/3}z^2) &(\log (xy)=\log x+\log y) .\end{align*}Hence, $ \dfrac{1}{3}\log_a x+2\log_a z$ is equivalent to $ \log_a (x^{1/3}z^2) $.
