Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Apply logarithm quotient rule
According to the rule (\log_{w}\frac{a}{b}=\log_{w}a - \log_{w}b), we have (\log_{w}\frac{(x^{2}-6)^{4}}{\sqrt[3]{x^{2}+8}}=\log_{w}(x^{2}-6)^{4}-\log_{w}(x^{2}+8)^{\frac{1}{3}}).
Step2: Apply logarithm power rule
Using the rule (\log_{w}a^{n}=n\log_{w}a), for (\log_{w}(x^{2}-6)^{4}), we get (4\log_{w}(x^{2}-6)), and for (\log_{w}(x^{2}+8)^{\frac{1}{3}}), we get (\frac{1}{3}\log_{w}(x^{2}+8)).
Answer:
(4\log_{w}(x^{2}-6)-\frac{1}{3}\log_{w}(x^{2}+8)) (the third option)
