Question

Can someone help me with this question? I keep getting a different answer. ;-;
Simplify the expression below
ln(e^3/x^4)
A.)3e/4
B.) 3-x^4
C.) 3-4ln(x)
D.) 3/x^4

I keep getting 3+ln(1/x^4)

Answer 1

well dividing within a log can be simpified to subtracting the logs

\[\log(\frac{a}{b}) = \log(a) - \log(b)\]

this is the 1st step needed for a solution.

then simplify the individual logs if you can.

you have correctly simplified ln(e^3) = 3

so its just the other term that needs to be corrected

Answer 2

3-4ln(x)?
