Q. Write the expression ln2+4 as a single logarithm in simplest form without any negative exponents.Answer: ln(□)
Understand Logarithm Properties: Understand the properties of logarithms The problem asks us to combine ln2 and 4 into a single logarithm. To do this, we need to use the properties of logarithms. One of the properties is that the logarithm of a product is the sum of the logarithms (log(a)+log(b)=log(ab)). We will use this property to combine ln2 and 4 into a single logarithm.
Convert Number 4 to Logarithm: Convert the number 4 into a logarithm with the same base To use the property from Step 1, we need to express the number 4 as a logarithm with the same base, which is the natural logarithm (base e). We can write 4 as ln(e4) because the natural logarithm of e to any power is just that power (ln(ex)=x).
Combine Logarithms: Combine the two logarithms into oneNow that we have both numbers as natural logarithms, we can combine them using the property from Step 1:ln2+ln(e4)=ln(2⋅e4)
Simplify Expression: Simplify the expression The expression ln(2⋅e4) is already in its simplest form. There are no negative exponents, and it is written as a single logarithm.
