Question

Use properties of logarithms to condense the logarithmic expression below. write the expression as a single logarithm whose coefficient is 1. where​ possible, evaluate logarithmic expressions. 5 ln x minus 6 ln y

Answer 1

We can use the power rule [ $\text{log}_ax^p = p~\text{log}_ax$ ] to evaluate the logarithmic expression.

5 ln x - 6 ln y

ln(x^5) - ln(y^6)

ln[x^5 / y^6]

Best of Luck!
