Question

Which of the following is equivalent to ln(13+e^8)?

ln(13) + 8
13 + e^8
104
8ln(13 + e)
None of the above

Answer 1

I think its none of the above

Answer 2

NOTA

Answer 3

thats right !

Answer 4

correctamundo

Answer 5

can u explain why it wouldnt be: ln(13) + 8

Answer 6

ln(a+b) does not equal ln(a) + ln(b)

Answer 7

it equals lna*lnb

Answer 8

it would be, if the given expression was :
ln(13) +ln(e^8)

Answer 9

thus it would not equal ln(13) + ln(e^8) thus not equal to ln(13)+8

Answer 10

or if the given expression was :

ln(13*e^8)

Answer 11

the binary operator + does not preserve operations here.

Answer 12

but dont the ln and the e cancel out

Answer 13

only if you could break them up

Answer 14

if it was ln((13+e)^8) we could say
8ln(13+e) <--- but notice the exponent was being aplied to both the 13 and the e

Answer 15

does this make sense?
