Simpler exercises: find out $log(2^3)$ and $log(8times 7)$.

$log(56) = log(7cdot8) = log(7) + log(8) = log(7) + logleft(2^{3}right) = log(7) + 3log(2) = b + 3a$
I got the answer correct. I think you made a mistake, because the computer said the answer is 3a+b. Thanks for the help though ZAF.

Might I suggest "cdot" ($cdot$) instead of a period to indicate multiplication.
