Use properties of logarithms to condense the logarithmic exp

Use properties of logarithms to condense the logarithmic expression. Write the expression as a single logarithm whose coefficient is 1. Where possible, evaluate logarithmic expressions. 1/8[5 ln (x + 7) - ln x - ln (x^2 - 25)] 1/8[5 ln (x + 7) - ln x - ln (x^2 - 25)] = (Type an exact answer, using radicals as needed. Type your answer in factored form. Do not rationalize the denominator.)

Solution

1/8[5ln(x+7)-lnx-ln(x²-25)] =1/8ln( ( x+7 )⁵/( x²-25) ] =ln[ln(x+7)⁵/(x²-25)x^1/8ANS
