sorry I am so lost I missed the class that talked about logs since my sister was in the hospital giving birth to a still born baby.... now I am all lost...
Expand the log
Ln 3sqrootx^2y/x+3
(the 3 is part of the sqroot not infront like the 3rd power) I hope that makes since
In your text or in your notes you should find 3 main rules for logs.
1. log(AB) = logA + logB
2. log (A/B) = logA - logB
3. log (A^n) = nlogA
use them in this question.
You did not use brackets to establish the correct order of operations here, so I will let you finish it.
You probably meant
ln[3√(x^2y)/(x+3)] but I have no way of knowing.
I'm really sorry to hear about your difficult situation. I'll do my best to help you understand how to expand the given logarithm, Ln(3√(x^2y/(x+3))). Let's break it down step by step:
1. Understand the notation: Ln denotes the natural logarithm, which is the logarithm with base e, where e is an irrational number approximately equal to 2.71828.
2. Expand the expression: To expand the given expression, we need to first understand the properties of logarithms. One property states that the logarithm of a product can be rewritten as the sum of the logarithms of the individual terms. Applying this property, we can rewrite 3√(x^2y/(x+3)) as the product of three individual terms: 3√(x^2y), 3√x, and 3√(1/(x+3)).
3. Simplify each term separately:
- For 3√(x^2y), we can rewrite it as (x^2y)^(1/3), which simplifies to (xy^(1/3))(x^(2/3)).
- For 3√x, we can rewrite it as x^(1/3).
- For 3√(1/(x+3)), there isn't much simplification we can do at this point.
4. Combine the terms: Now that each term has been simplified individually, we can put them together with the natural logarithm Ln. The expanded form becomes Ln((xy^(1/3))(x^(2/3))) + Ln(x^(1/3)) + Ln(1/(x+3)).
Please let me know if there's anything specific you would like me to explain further or any additional assistance you need.
