You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Simplify:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"ln%28x%2Fe%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Remember the \"quotient rule\" for logarithms! $\"log%28M%2FN%29+=+logM+-+logN\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Applying this rule to your problem, you get:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"ln%28x%2Fe%29+=+ln%28x%29+-+ln%28e%29\"$ but ln(e) = 1, so:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"ln%28x%2Fe%29+=+ln%28x%29+-+1\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
