Question

Use the properties of logarithms to condense the following expression as much as possible, writing the answer as a single term with a coefficient and of 1. All exponents should be positive

Answer 1

The given expression is:

$\ln (z)+\ln (20)$

The product property of logarithms states:

$\ln (m\cdot n)=\ln (m)+\ln (n)$

Then we can rewrite the expression as:

$\ln (z)+\ln (20)=\ln (z\cdot20)$

Thus, the condensed expression is ln(20z)
