1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to simplify the logarithmic expression:
log(158)+4log2log3log(\frac{15}{8}) + 4log2 - log3.

2. Solution Steps

We will use the properties of logarithms to simplify the expression.
First, we can rewrite log(158)log(\frac{15}{8}) using the quotient rule of logarithms:
log(ab)=log(a)log(b)log(\frac{a}{b}) = log(a) - log(b)
So, log(158)=log(15)log(8)log(\frac{15}{8}) = log(15) - log(8).
Now, we can rewrite 1515 as 3×53 \times 5 and 88 as 232^3:
log(15)=log(3×5)=log(3)+log(5)log(15) = log(3 \times 5) = log(3) + log(5)
log(8)=log(23)=3log(2)log(8) = log(2^3) = 3log(2)
Therefore, log(158)=log(3)+log(5)3log(2)log(\frac{15}{8}) = log(3) + log(5) - 3log(2).
Next, consider the term 4log24log2. Using the power rule of logarithms:
alog(b)=log(ba)alog(b) = log(b^a)
4log2=log(24)=log(16)4log2 = log(2^4) = log(16).
Now, we can substitute these back into the original expression:
log(158)+4log2log3=(log(3)+log(5)3log(2))+log(16)log(3)log(\frac{15}{8}) + 4log2 - log3 = (log(3) + log(5) - 3log(2)) + log(16) - log(3)
The log(3)log(3) terms cancel out:
log(5)3log(2)+log(16)=log(5)log(23)+log(16)=log(5)log(8)+log(16)log(5) - 3log(2) + log(16) = log(5) - log(2^3) + log(16) = log(5) - log(8) + log(16)
Now, we can combine the logarithmic terms:
log(5)+log(16)log(8)=log(5×16)log(8)=log(80)log(8)log(5) + log(16) - log(8) = log(5 \times 16) - log(8) = log(80) - log(8)
Using the quotient rule again:
log(80)log(8)=log(808)=log(10)log(80) - log(8) = log(\frac{80}{8}) = log(10)
Assuming the logarithm is base 10, log10(10)=1log_{10}(10) = 1.

3. Final Answer

The final answer is
