Hero:

It's syntax that is the issue

Ballery1:

its gonna take aminute tho

Hero:

\(\log_{10}x(x^2 + 2)^{-3}\)

Hero:

Is that it?

Ballery1:

ten is not the base dude

Ballery1:

its a number

Hero:

Exactly and that was what I was trying to clarify. Sometimes log is given with a base of 10

Hero:

That should be correct now

Ballery1:

k can we condense this monster any further?

Hero:

There's nothing left to reduce unless you want to express it as 1 minus a log. Not necessary tho.

Hero:

Well actually, we can't do that

Ballery1:
