log[(50r x^(1/2))/p^2]

Explanation:

Before we can condense all the terms, they all need to be log terms.
Log2r-2log4p+1/2log16x+2?
2 = log100
Log2r-2log4p+1/2log16x+log 100

Use the power law:

=Log2r-log(4p)^2+log(16x)^(1/2)+log 100

If logs are being added or subtracted, the numbers are being multiplied or divided.

= log [(2r xx (16x)^(1/2) xx 100)/((4p)^2)]

=log [(200 r xx 4(x)^(1/2) )/(16p^2)]

=log[(50r x^(1/2))/p^2]
