Question

ln e ^ x + 4y

Answer 1

not sure what we are doing here

Answer 2

what do you want done here. just simplified?

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

and is the +4y inside of the ln

Answer 5

the question was just simplify in and then it gave the equation

Answer 6

yes but how was it written, was it\[\ln (e ^{x}+4y)\] or was it \[\ln (e ^{x})+4y\]

Answer 7

1st one

Answer 8

figure the second, i.e., x+4y

Answer 9

non sense the first (simplify I say)

Answer 10

okay then you distribute the ln to have \[\ln e ^{x} + \ln(4y)\] and the natural log of lne^x the ln and e cancel to just be x so \[x + \ln(4y)\]

Answer 11

ok thanks

Answer 12

no you don't distrubite the natural log\[\log(a+b)\neq\log a+\log b\]if the problem is to simplify\[\ln(e^x+4y)\]it cannot be done

Answer 13

turing is right

Answer 14

oh sorry i was doing that two added natural logs added could be combined my mistake. and luis, the problem isnt written as you wrote it

Answer 15

but if your telling the asker to look at your answer, if your answer isnt answering the problem he is asking why would he/she look at it? thats the whole point? the point is that you are answering the wrong question? i wont get that because it doesnt make sense
