alekos · Answer

well you can use the log law of addition and subtraction

lna + lnb = ln(ab)  
lna - lnb = ln(a/b)

but it doesn't really simplify the problem in any way

Did what I did sound or look right?

alekos · Answer

yes. you've used the log law of exponents which is fine

shadowlegendx · Answer

So they gave you that expression, did they say anything specific as to what they wanted you to do it? or just simplifying?

ellecullen · Answer

They just said to find a way to condense it

alekos · Answer

OK then use what I gave you
