Logarithmic Functions
Logarithmic scales are used when the range of possible values is very wide, such as the intensity of an earthquake or the acidity of a liquid, in order to avoid the use of large numbers.
Let \(f\) be the translation \(f: (x,y) \to (x+m, y+n)\), where \(m\) and \(n\) are constants. If \(f\) transforms the curve \(y=\log_2 3x\) to \(y=\log_2 (12x-108)\), what is \(m+n\)?

For \(x\) and \(y\) satisfying \(x+y=8\), let \(m\) be the maximum value of \[\log_{4}x+\log_{4}y.\] If \(a\) and \(b\) are the values of \(x\) and \(y\), respectively, for which the maximum value is attained, what is \(m+2a+3b\)?
