Express ln√ab/c^3 as a sums and difference of logarithms.
|dw:1361452477052:dw|
\[ \ln\sqrt{\frac{ab}{c^3}} =\ln\frac{\sqrt{a}\sqrt{b}}{\sqrt{c^3}}\] Does it help?
i just needed help not the answer :(
I just showed you one step not the whole solution.
I'm trying to understand how to solve these problems.
Ok. In theese problem it is important to know that logarithm of a product is sum of logaritms. \[ \ln(xy) = \ln x + \ln y\]

You can write \( \sqrt{abc} \) as \(\sqrt{a}\sqrt{b}\sqrt{c}\). Then you have a product of three terms.
ok but isnt taht the same thing as abc square rooted?
Yes, it is. Now you can express the log of a product as a sum of logs.
Remember \[\ln(xy) = \ln x + \ln y\] \[ \ln{\left(\frac{x}{y}\right)} = \ln x - \ln y\] \[ \ln x^a = a \ln x \] These three formulas are what you have to know to solve this kind of problem.
