Prove the following:

(log x)2(log y)2=log xy.log xy(\text{log} \space x)^2 - (\text{log} \space y)^2 = \text{log} \space \dfrac{x}{y}.\text{log} \space xy

Given,

(log x)2(log y)2=log xy.log xy(\text{log} \space x)^2 - (\text{log} \space y)^2 = \text{log} \space \dfrac{x}{y}.\text{log} \space xy

Simplifying L.H.S. of above equation we get,

(log x)2(log y)2(log xlog y)(log x+log y)log xy.log xy\Rightarrow (\text{log} \space x)^2 - (\text{log} \space y)^2 \\[1em] \Rightarrow (\text{log} \space x - \text{log} \space y)(\text{log} \space x + \text{log} \space y) \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{log} \space\dfrac{x}{y}.\text{log} \space xy

Since, L.H.S. = R.H.S.,

Hence, proved that (log x)2(log y)2=log xy.log xy(\text{log} \space x)^2 - (\text{log} \space y)^2 = \text{log} \space \dfrac{x}{y}.\text{log} \space xy
