5x- number\ of\ boys\\7x-\ number\ of\ girls\\\\
5x+7x=600\\
12x=600\ \ \ \ | divide\ by\ 12\\x=50\\\\
5x=250\\7x=350\\\\
There\ are\ 250\ boys\ and\ 350\ girls.

So,

The secret to solving problems with ratios is to find the value of one unit.

5:7 = 12 units total

To find one unit, divide the total number of students by the total number of units.
600/12 = a

Simplify
50/1 = a
50 = a

The value of each unit is 50.

Now, multiply the units by the numbers in the ratio.
50(5) = b
250 = boys

50(7) = x
350 = x

There are 350 girls.

Expanding Logarithmic Expressions In Exercise, use the properties of logarithms to rewrite the expression as the sum, difference
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

\\ ln(x^2) - ln(x^2 + 1).

For values of x>0, it can be rewritten as \\ 2ln(x) - ln(x^2 + 1).

Step-by-step explanation:

For the expression:

\\ ln(\frac{x^2}{x^2 + 1})

We can apply this logarithmical property: \\ ln(\frac{x}{y}) = ln(x) - ln(y).

Then,

\\ \frac{x^2}{x^2 + 1} = ln(x^2) - ln(x^2 + 1).

If we assume values of <em>x </em>> 0 (non negative values for x), then the expression could be rewritten as follows:

\\ \frac{x^2}{x^2 + 1} = ln(x^2) - ln(x^2 + 1) = 2 ln(x) - ln(x^2 + 1), since \\ ln(x^{n}) = n*ln(x).

We have to remember that <em>domain</em> (all possible values x) for logarithmic function is for all x > 0, or mathematically expressed as:

Domain: \\ {x | x \in R, x > 0}
