Write the expression as a sum and/or difference of logarithms. Express powers as factors.

Questions
(1) Why is it specified that x > 4?
(2) What is the importance of the following fact?
[MATH]\text {Given } a > 0, \ a \ne 1, \text { and } x > 0, \text { then } log_a(b) = c \iff a^c = b[/MATH]?
(3) How does this relate to the laws of logarithms?
(4) What laws of logarithms might be relevant to this problem?

If \(x>4\) then \(\log\left(\dfrac{5x\sqrt{1+7x}}{(x-4)^2}\right)=\log(5)+\log(x)\)+\(\dfrac{\log(1+7x)}{2}-2\log(x-4)\)
