Equivalent expressions are expressions with same simplified form. Equivalent expressions for the given expression are;

Expression 2: $\ln(a) + 2\ln(b) = \ln(a) + \ln(b^2) = \ln(ab^2)$
Expression 3: $\ln(a^2) + \ln(b^2) - \ln(a) = \ln(a^2b^2/a) = \ln(ab^2)$
Expression 5: $\ln(ab^2)$

<h3>What are equivalent expressions?</h3>

Those expressions who might look different but their simplified forms are same expressions are called equivalent expressions.

To derive equivalent expressions of some expression, we can either make it look more complex or simple. Usually, we simplify it.

<h3>What is logarithm and some of its useful properties?</h3>

When you raise a number with an exponent, there comes a result.

Lets say you get

$a^b = c$

Then, you can write 'b' in terms of 'a' and 'c' using logarithm as follows

$b = log_a(c)$

Some properties of logarithm are:

$log_a(b) = log_a(c) \implies b = c\\\\\log_a(b) + log_a(c) = log_a(b \times c)\\\\log_a(b) - log_a(c) = log_a(\frac{b}{c})\\\\log_a(b^c) = c \times log_a(b)\\\\log_b(b) = 1\\\\ log_a(b) + log_b(c) = log_a(c)$

Log with base e = 2.71828.... is written as $\ln(x)$ simply.

The expression given is $2\ln(a) + 2\ln(b) - \ln(a)$

We get its simplified form as

$2\ln(a) + 2\ln(b) - \ln(a) = \ln(a) + \ln(b^2) = \ln(ab^2)$

Simplifying given expressions:

Expression 1: $\ln(ab^2) - \ln(a) = \ln(ab^2/a) = \ln(b^2)$

This isn't same as simplified form of original

. Thus , this expression is not equivalent to the given expression.

Expression 2: $\ln(a) + 2\ln(b) = \ln(a) + \ln(b^2) = \ln(ab^2)$

This is same as simplified form of original expression. Thus , this expression is equivalent to the given expression.

Expression 3: $\ln(a^2) + \ln(b^2) - \ln(a) = \ln(a^2b^2/a) = \ln(ab^2)$

This is same as simplified form of original expression. Thus , this expression is equivalent to the given expression.

Expression 4: $2\ln(ab) = \ln((ab)^2) = \ln(a^2b^2)$

This isn't same as simplified form of original expression. Thus , this expression is not equivalent to the given expression.

Expression 5: $\ln(ab^2)$

This is same as simplified form of original expression. Thus , this expression is equivalent to the given expression.

Thus, equivalent expressions for the given expression are;

Expression 2: $\ln(a) + 2\ln(b) = \ln(a) + \ln(b^2) = \ln(ab^2)$
Expression 3: $\ln(a^2) + \ln(b^2) - \ln(a) = \ln(a^2b^2/a) = \ln(ab^2)$
Expression 5: $\ln(ab^2)$

17. Julie has $80 in her savings account and plans to save Sr each

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

$8(x + 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression $8x + $80 has two terms. They are $8x and $80.

When you factor an expression, you are looking for numbers that every term in the expression can divide by (and give a whole number).

Just by looking at the terms, you see they both have $ you can factor out. They can both also be divided by 8. This is called taking out a common factor.

$8x + $80 Take out the common factor

= ($8x) / $8 + ($80) / $8

= $8(x + 10) The common factor goes outside the terms' bracket

This expression can't be factored more because there are no common factors. The binomial also doesn't have square numbers for example, which might make a case where you need to factor further with different methods.
