How do you condense #3 [ln(x) - 2ln(x^2 + 1)] + 2ln(5)#? Precalculus Properties of Logarithmic Functions Natural Logs 1 Answer maganbhai P. Mar 21, 2018 #ln((25x^3)/(x^2+1)^6)# Explanation: We have, #color(red)((1) .lnX^n=nlnX# #color(red)((2).ln(X*Y)=lnX+lnY# #color(red)((3).ln(X/Y)=lnX-lnY# Now, #3[lnx-2ln(x^2+1)]+2ln(5)# #=3[lnx-ln(x^2+1)^2]+ln(5)^2...to#,Apply(1) #=3[ln(x/((x^2+1)^2))]+ln(25)....to# Apply(3) #=ln((x/(x^2+1)^2)^3)+ln25# #=ln(x^3/(x^2+1)^6)+ln25# #=ln(25*x^3/(x^2+1)^6)...to# Apply(2) #=ln((25x^3)/(x^2+1)^6)# Answer link Related questions What is the natural log of e?
