Expand and write the answer as a single logarithm with a coefficient of 1. $$\sum_{i=1}^{4} \log (2 i)$$
Each exercise involves observing a pattern in the expanded form of the binomial expression \((a+b)^{n}\).$$\begin{array}{l}(a+b)^{1}=a+b \\\\(a+b)^{2}=a^{2}+2 a b+b^{2} \\\\(a+b)^{3}=a^{3}+3 a^{2} b+3 a b^{2}+b^{3} \\\\(a+b)^{4}=a^{4}+4 a^{3} b+6 a^{2} b^{2}+4 a b^{3}+b^{4} \\\\(a+b)^{5}=a^{5}+5 a^{4} b+10 a^{3} b^{2}+10 a^{2} b^{3}+5 a b^{4}+b^{5}\end{array}$$ Describe the pattern for the exponents on \(b\).
