Question

use properties of logarithms to condense the loarithmic expression. write expression as a sinle logarithm whose coefficient is 1. where possible evaulate the expression.

1/8[3 In(x+5)-In x-In(x^2-4)]

Please show work

Answer 1

1/8[3 In(x+5)-In x-In(x^2-4)]
= (1/8) [ ln (x+5)^3 - lnx - ln (x^2-4) ]
= (1/8) ln ( (x+5)^3 / (x(x^2 - 4) ]
you finish it
