Final answer:
The expression ln(36) can be rewritten as 2 * (ln 2 + ln 3) by using the properties of logarithms to separate the factors and bringing the exponent in front of the logarithm.
Step-by-step explanation:
To rewrite the expression ln(36) in terms of ln 2 and ln 3, we can use the property of logarithms that allows us to express ln(a*b) as ln(a) + ln(b). Since 36 can be written as 62 or (2*3)2, we can use the property of logarithms that lets us bring the exponent out in front of the ln function.
Therefore, we have:
ln(36) = ln((2*3)2)
ln(36) = 2 * ln(2*3)
ln(36) = 2 * (ln(2) + ln(3))
This is because ln(ab) = ln(a) + ln(b) and ln(ab) = b * ln(a). So, the expression ln(36) can be rewritten as 2 * (ln 2 + ln 3).
