Example Questions

Example Question #14 : College Algebra

Expand this logarithm: $\ln \frac{x^4\sqrt{y}}{z^6}$

Possible Answers:

$4\ln x+2\ln y-6\ln z$

$4\ln x-\frac{1}{2}\ln y-6\ln z$

$4\ln x+2\ln y+6\ln z$

$4\ln x+\frac{1}{2}\ln y+6\ln z$

$4\ln x+\frac{1}{2}\ln y-6\ln z$

Correct answer:

$4\ln x+\frac{1}{2}\ln y-6\ln z$

Explanation:

We expand this logarithm based on the following properties:

$\ln \frac{u}{v}= \ln u-\ln v$

$\ln u^{n}= n \ln u$

$\ln uv=\ln u+\ln v$

$\ln \frac{x^4\sqrt{y}}{z^6}\rightarrow \ln x^4\ln\sqrt{y}-\ln z^6\rightarrow \boldsymbol{4\ln x+\frac{1}{2}\ln y-6\ln z}$

Example Question #21 : Exponential And Logarithmic Functions

Condense this logarithm: $\frac{1}{3}[2\ln (x+3)+\ln x-\ln(x^2-1)]$

Possible Answers:

$\ln\sqrt[3]{\frac{(x+3)^2}{x^2-1}}$

$\ln\sqrt[3]{\frac{x(x+3)^2}{x^2-1}}$

$\ln\sqrt[3]{\frac{x(x-3)^2}{x^2+1}}$

$\ln\sqrt[3]{\frac{x(x-3)^2}{x^2-1}}$

None of these

Correct answer:

$\ln\sqrt[3]{\frac{x(x+3)^2}{x^2-1}}$

Explanation:

We condense this logarithm based on the following properties:

$\ln \frac{u}{v}= \ln u-\ln v$

$\ln u^{n}= n \ln u$

$\ln uv=\ln u+\ln v$

$\frac{1}{3}[2\ln (x+3)+\ln x-\ln(x^2-1)]\rightarrow \frac{1}{3}[\ln(x+3)^2+\ln x-\ln(x^2-1)]\rightarrow \frac{1}{3}[ \ln x(x+3)^2-\ln (x^2-1)]\rightarrow$

$\frac{1}{3}[\ln\frac{x(x+3)^2}{x^2-1}]\rightarrow\boldsymbol{ \ln \sqrt[3]{\frac{x(x+3)^2}{x^2-1}}}$
