Q. Write the expression 31ln8+ln3 as a single logarithm in simplest form without any negative exponents.Answer: ln(□)
Apply Power Rule: We have the expression (31)ln8+ln3. To combine these logarithms into a single logarithm, we can use the logarithm properties.
Simplify 81/3: First, we apply the power rule of logarithms, which states that a⋅ln(b)=ln(ba), to the term (1/3)ln8. (1/3)ln8=ln(81/3)
Substitute 2: Now we simplify 81/3. Since 8 is 23, we can write 81/3 as (23)1/3. 81/3=(23)1/3
Combine Logarithms: Using the power of a power rule, which states (an)m=an∗m, we simplify (23)1/3.(23)1/3=23∗(1/3)=21=2
Calculate Product: Now we substitute 2 back into the logarithm to get ln(2).ln(81/3)=ln(2)
Write Final Expression: We now have ln(2)+ln(3). To combine these two logarithms into a single logarithm, we use the product rule of logarithms, which states ln(a)+ln(b)=ln(a∗b).ln(2)+ln(3)=ln(2∗3)
Write Final Expression: We now have ln(2)+ln(3). To combine these two logarithms into a single logarithm, we use the product rule of logarithms, which states ln(a)+ln(b)=ln(a∗b).ln(2)+ln(3)=ln(2∗3)We calculate the product 2∗3.2∗3=6
Write Final Expression: We now have ln(2)+ln(3). To combine these two logarithms into a single logarithm, we use the product rule of logarithms, which states ln(a)+ln(b)=ln(a∗b).ln(2)+ln(3)=ln(2∗3)We calculate the product 2∗3.2∗3=6Finally, we write the expression as a single logarithm.ln(2∗3)=ln(6)
