Identify the logarithmic expression given: \(\log_{10}\left(5 \cdot 7\right)\).
Recall the logarithm product rule, which states that \(\log_b(xy) = \log_b x + \log_b y\). This allows us to rewrite the log of a product as a sum of logs.
Apply the product rule to the expression: \(\log_{10}\left(5 \cdot 7\right) = \log_{10} 5 + \log_{10} 7\).
Check if further simplification is possible by evaluating if \$5\( or \)7$ can be broken down into factors with simpler logs, but since both are prime numbers, no further simplification is possible.
Conclude that the expression rewritten as a sum of logs is \(\log_{10} 5 + \log_{10} 7\).
