Question 1203523: Hello everyone, I am doing some problems on logarithms but was struggling with a couple of them. I will post them one at a time like the rules mandate.
Suppose that x=ln(A) and y=ln(B). Write the following expression in terms of x and y (so there won't be an A or B).
ln(A^5 * squareroot B)=?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They want you learn and use the basic rules of logarithms
ln(p*q) = ln(p) + ln(q),
ln(p^n) = n*ln(p).
It is true not only for the natural logarithms, but for any other logarithm bases, too.
So, in this case, the solution is in one single line
 =  +  = 5*ln(A) +  = 5x +  y. ANSWER
Solved.
---------------
There is no any need to make writing longer.
Some tutors at this forum think that the longer their writing is - the better their solutions look like
- the smarter they are looking, themselves.
Although in Math, everything is exactly in reversed order - nothing in writing should be longer than it should be.
Only because of it, Math is beautiful as an art,
and is not so terrible as a swamp.
