Answer:

  1. B, D, F, G
  2. D

Explanation:

1.

The true statements more or less speak for themselves.

The only value that has the same log for different bases is log(1) = 0 = ln(1). This means the first statement (A) is false.

The inverse function of y = e^x is found by swapping x and y:

x = e^y

Taking natural logs of this equation gives you ...

ln(x) = y

Hence the equations of B are, in fact, inverses.

Statement D is true, rendering statement C false.

The expressions in statement E are, in fact, equivalent, rendering E false.

Statement F shows the meaning of ln( ).

Statement G is a restatement of B. If two functions are inverses, their composition is x, the original argument.

The true statements are B, D, F, G.

2.

The relevant rules of logarithms are ...

log(a^b) = b·log(a)

log(ab) = log(a) +log(b)

log(a/b) = log(a) -log(b)

Using these rules on the given expression, we have ...

ln(x^4y/z) = ln(x^4y) -ln(z) = ln(x^4) +ln(y) -ln(z)

= 4ln(x) +ln(y) -ln(z) . . . . . matches choice D
