Question

Condensing Logarithmic Expression In Exercise,use the properties of logarithms to rewrite the expression as the logarithm of a single quantity.See example 4.

In(x - 2) - In(x + 2)

Answer 1

In (x-2/x+2)

Explanation:

In (x-2) - In (x+2)

In (x-2/x+2)

Answer 2

Use the quotient rule [
`\text{ln}(a)/(b) = \text{ln(a)~-~ln(b)}` ] to solve.

`\text{ln(x~-~2)}-\text{ln(x~+~2)}`

`\text{ln}\frac{\text{x~-~2}}{\text{x~+~2}}`

Best of Luck!
