Question 376752: Write as a single log expression:
2(log(x)+log(x^2+1))-3log(x-2)
log(x^2)+log(x^4+1)-log(x^3-8)
log(x^2(x^4+1)-log(x^3-8)
log(x^6+x^2)-log(x^3-8)
log(x^12)-log(x^3-8)
log[(x^12)/(x^3-8)]
???

The regular rules of algebra don't get suspended just because you are working with logarithms.



First use



to write:



Then use



To write:



Then use



To write:



Which satisfies the requirements of the problem. You could multiply out the two binomials, but that would be a decision based on the requirements of further calculations.
