Simplifying logarithms often requires the application of one or more of the above properties.
Simplify

Factoring
.

Applying the power rule:

Since


Applying the power rule:

Applying the logarithm of the base:

Answer:
x^2+5x-6
a = 1 b = 5 and c = -6
Using the quadratic formula:
x = [-5 +- sq root (25 -4 * 1 *-6) ] / 2 * 1
x = [-5 +- sq root (49)] / 2
x = [-5 +- 7] / 2
x1 = 1
x2 = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
Note the improper fraction. Change it into a mixed fraction
3/2 = 2/2 + 1/2
2/2 = 1
5 + 1 1/2
Simplify.
5 + 1 = 6
6 1/2 is your answer
