\[\ln [ex ^{3}/y ^{2}z]\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ln(m/n)=ln(m)-ln(n)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[e ^{x}=1+x+x ^{2}/2!+x ^{3}/3!+.......\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I'm not really understanding in how you got there. Where are we getting the \[x ^{2}/2!\] from ? Also where exactly did the "ln" go ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
You dont need that expansion.
Just remember lne = 1.
And ln( m . n) = lnm + ln(n)
So the question becomes,
\[lne + lnx^2 - lny^2 - lnz\]

= 1 + 2lnx - 2lny - lnz.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
isnt it e^(x^3)?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Not from the first comment.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I'm understanding most all of it except the "+2lnx". from the original problem above ln[ex3/y2z] it shows an exponent of 3, does that get reduced or separated to become the "2lnx" ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it seems as if x^3 is in power and you are saying multiplication???????

Oh that 3 should be an exponent not shown as being multiplied.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
lne+3inx-2lny-lnz
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So basically the exponent moves to the beginning of the sequence ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ya
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Alright, I understand now. Thank you very much for the help.
