Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
apply the inverse properties of logarithmic and exponential functions to simplify
all logs has base 'e'
Inverse property of log says that
, the value of ln e=1
we apply this property in our problem. ln has same base 'e' . ln and 'e' gets cancelled
See the attached
<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>When you square the binomial (a -b), you get ...
... (a -b)² = a² -2ab +b²
That is, both the a² and b² terms have positive signs, and the middle term is twice the product of the roots of the squared terms.
The last two selections have negative signs on the constant, so cannot be perfect square trinomials.
The first selection has a middle term that is -ab, not -2ab, so it is not a perfect square trinomial, either.
The second selection is the correct one:
... 4a² -20a +25 = (2a +5)²
