Answer

$\log_5{(u^3 v^4)}$

Work Step by Step

Recall: $\because \log_a M^r = r \log_a M$ Use the rule above to obtain: $3 \log_5 u = \log_5 u^3$ $4 \log_5 v = \log_5 v^4$ Thus, $3 \log_5 u + 4 \log_5 v = \log_5 u^3 +\log_5 v^4$ Recall also that: $\log_a (MN) = \log_a M+\log_a N$ Using the rule above gives: $\log_5 u^3 +\log_5 v^4 = \log_5{(u^3 v^4)}$ Therefore, $3 \log_5 u + 4 \log_5 v = \boxed{\log_5{(u^3 v^4)}}$
