How do you condense 3ln3+ln9?
Solution
In order to determine the condensed or we can say simplified form of the above question, rewrite the expression using the property of logarithm nlogm=logmnby taking n=3and m=3 then combine both of the logarithmic values into single logarithm by using the identity of addition of logarithm which says logb(m)+logb(n)=logb(mn).By solving this you’ll get your desired condensed form.
Complete step by step solution:
We are Given an expression 3ln3+ln9 So to condense or simplify the expression we’ll be using some of the properties of logarithm.
=3ln3+ln9
3ln3can be written as ln33using the property of logarithm nlogm=logmnwhere n=3and m=3.
Replacing 3ln3with in the expression ln33
=ln33+ln9
As we know that any addition of two logarithmic values can be expressed aslogb(m)+logb(n)=logb(mn)here, m and n are 33and 9respectively
Now our equation becomes
=ln(33×9) =ln(27×9) =ln(243)
Therefore, the condensed form of the expression 3ln3+ln9is equal to ln(243).
Additional Information:
1.Value of constant ‘e’ is equal to 2.71828.
2.A logarithm is basically the reverse of a power or we can say when we calculate a logarithm of any number, we actually undo an exponentiation.
3.Any multiplication inside the logarithm can be transformed into addition of two separate logarithm values.
logb(mn)=logb(m)+logb(n)
4. Any division inside the logarithm can be transformed into subtraction of two separate logarithm values.
logb(nm)=logb(m)−logb(n)
5. Any exponent value on anything inside the logarithm can be transformed and moved out of the logarithm as a multiplier and vice versa.
nlogm=logmn
Note: 1.Don’t forget to cross-check your answer at least once.
2.ln is known as the “natural log” which is having base e.
