Answer 1

Answer:

  $\log{\dfrac{3\sqrt{x}(x^3+4)}{2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\log{9}+\dfrac{1}{2}\log{x}+\log{(x^3+4)}-\log{6}=\log{\left(\dfrac{9x^{\frac{1}{2}}(x^3+4)}{6}\right)}\\\\=\boxed{\log{\dfrac{3\sqrt{x}(x^3+4)}{2}}}\qquad\text{matches choice A}$

The applicable rules of logarithms are ...

  log(ab) = log(a) +log(b)

  log(a/b) = log(a) -log(b)

  log(a^b) = b·log(a)
