Question

Can I go any farther from here: Log(2x)? If yes, what property should I use?

Answer 1

Depends on what you are doing, if you are expanding the log you could write it as:
log(2) + log(x)

Answer 2

I was trying to do exactly the same. I was not sure if I could do that

Answer 3

I was asked to get the ln of y

Answer 4

then you need to take the ln of both sides.

Answer 5

applying the log properties I end up with:

Answer 6

Is there something else I can do now?

Answer 7

specially with the term ln(2x-1)?

Answer 8

The only part you need to fix is that -(ln(5x^2)) should be -(ln(5)+2ln(x))

Answer 9

because in the problem only x is raised to the 2nd power and not the 5. the ln(2x-1) is in simplest form.

Answer 10

So that must be the answer, right? Of course changing 2(ln5+lnx) by ln5+2lnx

Answer 11

exactly (also make sure that end is in parentheses and negated as it's in the denominator)

Answer 12

I suppose this is the answer

Answer 13

That's it

Answer 14

Ok thank you very much for your help
