Question 1056096: Write the logarithmic expression as a sum or difference of logarithms.
ln [(2x sqrt x^2+1)/(x+3)]
all of x^2+1 is inside the square root
So far I have ln(2) + ln(x) - ln(x+3)
I think ln(x+3) stays the same, but that square root stuff is really confusing. thank you to whoever helps me out!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ln [(2x sqrt x^2+1)/(x+3)] =  =  +  -  =  + ln(x) +  - .
