can u separate ln (7+x) into ln7+lnx?

Question

anonymous · Answer

no

ln (7+x) = "the exponent you raise "e" to to get (7+x)"

anonymous · Answer

can you separate it if it's multiplication or division?

anonymous · Answer

(7+x) is the argument of the ln, so it's dependent on whatever x is, so now you cannot seperate

anonymous · Answer

well sort of, "ln7+lnx" would equal "ln7x" but what you have there is not that.

anonymous · Answer

if you had ln x + ln 7, it could be simplified to ln (7x)

anonymous · Answer

yeah... what she said.  but no, ln(7+x) can't be seperated.  what's the whole equation?

anonymous · Answer

ok then ln7/x can be ln7-lnx? oh i was just wondering what the rule was so i just made that equation up..

anonymous · Answer

yes

anonymous · Answer

dont think it can  be seperated...it would be a mathematical crime
