use log properties
OpenStudy (freckles):
log(a)-log(b)=log(a/b)
OpenStudy (amenah8):
log(2x)-log(x+1)?
OpenStudy (freckles):
use the law I just mentioned
OpenStudy (freckles):
it works for any base

OpenStudy (freckles):
ln(2x)-ln(x+1)=?
OpenStudy (freckles):
also notifications aren't working too well for me
OpenStudy (amenah8):
so log(2x)-log(x+1)=log2x/(x+1)
OpenStudy (freckles):
\[\ln(2x)-\ln(x+1)=\ln(\frac{2x}{x+1})\]
OpenStudy (freckles):
take the limit inside the the log there

what do you mean by take the limit inside the log?
OpenStudy (freckles):
\[\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} \ln(\frac{2x}{x+1})=\ln(\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{2x}{x+1})\]
OpenStudy (amenah8):
so now i put in infinity for x?
OpenStudy (freckles):
yes but you get inf/inf and the directions wants you to find the limit using l'hospital and you can since you have inf/inf
OpenStudy (amenah8):
so now take the derivative of the top and bottom

2
OpenStudy (freckles):
yes so you have ln(2) as the limit
