You can put this solution on YOUR website!
\"log rules\" say:
\n" ); document.write( "log a - log b = log a/b
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore,
\n" ); document.write( "log (x+10)-log x
\n" ); document.write( "= log ((x+10)/x)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "It looks like of the choice given
\n" ); document.write( "b) log x+10/x
\n" ); document.write( "is the closest
\n" ); document.write( "However, because of the the \"order of precedence\" it does NOT equal:
\n" ); document.write( "log ((x+10)/x)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "I would say your answer is:
\n" ); document.write( "c) none of these
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
