Q. Write the expression 31ln27−3ln5 as a single logarithm in simplest form without any negative exponents.Answer: ln(□)
Apply power rule: We have the expression (31)ln27−3ln5. We will use the logarithm power rule, which states that a⋅ln(b)=ln(ba), to simplify each term.
Calculate cube root: Apply the power rule to the first term: (31)ln27=ln(2731).Calculate 2731, which is the cube root of 27.2731=3 because 33=27.So, (31)ln27=ln(3).
Apply power rule: Apply the power rule to the second term: 3ln5=ln(53). Calculate 53. 53=125. So, 3ln5=ln(125).
Combine logarithms: Now we have ln(3)−ln(125). We will use the logarithm quotient rule, which states that ln(a)−ln(b)=ln(ba), to combine the two logarithms into one.
Simplify to ln(1253): Combine the logarithms: ln(3)−ln(125)=ln(1253).
Simplify to ln(1253): Combine the logarithms: ln(3)−ln(125)=ln(1253).The expression is now simplified to a single logarithm: ln(1253).
