 How does the entropy S depend on the partition function Q?

How does the entropy S depend on the partition function Q? (10 pts) S Starting from the definition of entropy seen in class in Chapter 5 (see M.D.F. textbook equation 5.2) and remembering (a) the expression for probability p; (same as p;*) at equilibrium according to the Boltzmann distribution of energies and (b) the expression for U as a function of Q seen in class, derive step-by-step, the expression seen in class S = kg In Q+U/T.' =
