Answer:

$320x^{15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. take out constants

( 5 × 2 × 4 × - 4 × - 2) $x^{5} x^{5} x^{5}$

2. simplify 5 × 2 to 10

(10 × 4 - 4 × - 2) $x^{5} x^{5} x^{5}$

3. simplify 10 × 4 to 40

(40 × - 4 × - 2) $x^{5} x^{5} x^{5}$

4. simplify 40 × -4 to -160

(-160 × - 2) $x^{5} x^{5} x^{5}$

5. simplify -160 × -2 to 320

$320x^{5} x^{5} x^{5}$

6. use product rule: $x^{a} x^{b} =x^{a+b}$

$320x^{5+5+5}$

7. simplify 5 + 5 to 10

$320x^{10+5}$

8. simplify 10 + 5 to 15 $320x^{15}$

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