    You must apply the addition law of logarithm:



    Then, 'transfer' any power to the front of the "log".

    I won't do your work, here's an example:





    OOOOOOOO

    OOOOOOOO

    By comparing the coefficients of log(3x) and log(y), you can find the A and B to be 2 and 3 respectively in my example.

    Try with your question and post back your answer. :)
