By the laws of exponents, and therefore by the laws of logarithms, when you take logarithms, all exponents come out in front as multipliers of the logarithms.

And roots are fractional powers; in this example, each square root is a one-half power.

And then of course you need to use the rules that say multiplying means adding logarithms and dividing means subtracting logarithms.

Put that all together and we get


There are two terms with log(x+1) which can be combined:

Of course, there was also the option to do the simplification before taking the logarithm....
