SOLUTION: simplify this expression: logx + logx^(3/2) - -2logx i'm fairly sure you end up with {{{ log(sqrt( x ) / x) }}} but i'm not 100% certain, if someone could confirm & maybe even

Question 1061613: simplify this expression:
logx + logx^(3/2) - -2logx
i'm fairly sure you end up with but i'm not 100% certain, if someone could confirm & maybe even show steps that would be awesome! thank you!

Answer by Edwin McCravy(20065)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
logx + logx^(3/2) - -2logx

Notice that you have two - signs in a row.  Was that a typo, and
there should have been only 1 - sign? 
I'll assume so, that you mean this:



The first and last terms are like terms, so 
combine them:  1*log(x)-2*log(x) gives -1*log(x)




Move the -1 coefficient of the first term to the
exponent of what the log is of, which is x, making
the x become x-1



Write the sum of those two logs as the log of a
product: 



Simplify by adding the exponents of x:
