Sagot :

To determine which expressions are equivalent to [tex]\(\log _4\left(\frac{1}{d} x^2\right)\)[/tex], we will use properties of logarithms to simplify and compare each option to the given expression.

First, let's simplify [tex]\(\log _4\left(\frac{1}{d} x^2\right)\)[/tex]:

[tex]\[ \log _4\left(\frac{1}{d} x^2\right) \][/tex]

Using the property of logarithms that [tex]\(\log_b(\frac{a}{c}) = \log_b(a) - \log_b(c)\)[/tex], we get:

[tex]\[ \log _4\left(\frac{1}{d} x^2\right) = \log_4(1 x^2) - \log_4(d) = \log_4(x^2) - \log_4(d) \][/tex]

Then, using the property that [tex]\(\log_b(a^c) = c \log_b(a)\)[/tex]:

[tex]\[ \log_4(x^2) = 2 \log_4(x) \][/tex]

So the expression simplifies to:

[tex]\[ \log_4\left(\frac{1}{d} x^2\right) = 2 \log_4(x) - \log_4(d) \][/tex]

Now let's evaluate each given option to see if it matches [tex]\(2 \log_4(x) - \log_4(d)\)[/tex]:

1. [tex]\(2 \log _4\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)-\log _4 x^2\)[/tex]

[tex]\[ 2 \log_4\left(\frac{1}{4}\right) = 2 \cdot (-1) = -2, \quad \log_4(x^2) = 2 \log_4(x) \][/tex]
[tex]\[ 2 \log_4\left(\frac{1}{4}\right) - \log_4(x^2) = -2 - 2 \log_4(x) \][/tex]

This does not match [tex]\(2 \log_4(x) - \log_4(d)\)[/tex].

2. [tex]\(-1 + 2 \log_4(x)\)[/tex]

This form does not account for [tex]\(- \log_4(d)\)[/tex] in [tex]\(2 \log_4(x) - \log_4(d)\)[/tex].

3. [tex]\(-2 + 2 \log_4(x)\)[/tex]

Similar to option 2, this form does not account for [tex]\(- \log_4(d)\)[/tex].

4. [tex]\(2 \log_4\left(\frac{1}{4} x\right)\)[/tex]

[tex]\[ 2 \log_4\left(\frac{1}{4} x\right) = 2 \left(\log_4\left(\frac{1}{4}\right) + \log_4(x)\right) \][/tex]
[tex]\[ = 2 \left(-1 + \log_4(x)\right) = 2 \cdot -1 + 2 \log_4(x) = -2 + 2 \log_4(x) \][/tex]

This does not match [tex]\(2 \log_4(x) - \log_4(d)\)[/tex].

5. [tex]\(\log_4\left(\frac{1}{4}\right) + \log_4(x^2)\)[/tex]

[tex]\[ \log_4\left(\frac{1}{4}\right) = -1, \quad \log_4(x^2) = 2 \log_4(x) \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \log_4\left(\frac{1}{4}\right) + \log_4(x^2) = -1 + 2 \log_4(x) \][/tex]

This does not match [tex]\(2 \log_4(x) - \log_4(d)\)[/tex].

Based on the detailed analysis, none of the given expressions are equivalent to [tex]\(\log _4\left(\frac{1}{d} x^2\right)\)[/tex].

The correct answer is: [tex]\([]\)[/tex] (none of the options provided are correct).
