Identify the logarithmic expression given: \(\log_3(10mn)\), which is the logarithm base 3 of the product \(10 \times m \times n\).
Recall the logarithm product rule: \(\log_b(xy) = \log_b x + \log_b y\). This means the log of a product can be rewritten as the sum of the logs of each factor.
Apply the product rule to the expression: \(\log_3(10mn) = \log_3 10 + \log_3 m + \log_3 n\).
Check if any further simplification is possible. Since \$10\(, \)m\(, and \)n$ are separate factors, and the logs are already separated, this is the simplified sum form.
Conclude that the expression rewritten as a sum of multiple logs is \(\log_3 10 + \log_3 m + \log_3 n\).
