5 ln(x - 3) - 2 ln(x) rewrite as a single logarithm.

Question

`5 ln(x - 3) - 2 ln(x)`
rewrite as a single logarithm.

Answer 1

ln\frac{(x-3)^5}{x^2}[/tex]

Explanation:

First use the exponent property alnb=ln(b)^a

`ln(x-3)^5-ln(x)^2`

Then use the difference property that is lna-lnb= ln(a/b)

`ln((x-3)^5)/(x^2)`
