Apply Logarithmic Property: We need to expand the logarithmic expression ln((x2−9)(x−1)(2x+1)2). To do this, we will use properties of logarithms and simplify the expression step by step.
Separate Logarithms: First, we apply the property of logarithms that says ln(ba)=ln(a)−ln(b). This gives us two separate logarithms to work with.\ln\left(\frac{\sqrt{(x\(-1\))(\(2\)x+\(1\))^{\(2\)}}}{x^{\(2\)}\(-9\)}\right) = \ln\left(\sqrt{(x\(-1\))(\(2\)x+\(1\))^{\(2\)}}\right) - \ln(x^{\(2\)}\(-9)
Apply Power Property: Next, we use the property of logarithms that ln(an)=n⋅ln(a). Since the square root is the same as raising to the power of 21, we can apply this property to the first term.ln((x−1)(2x+1)2)=21⋅ln((x−1)(2x+1)2)
Combine Terms: Now, we apply the same property to the squared term inside the logarithm.(21)ln((x−1)(2x+1)2)=(21)(ln(x−1)+2ln(2x+1))
Write Expanded Form: We can now combine the steps to write the expanded form of the original expression. \ln\left(\frac{\sqrt{(x\(-1\))(\(2\)x+\(1\))^{\(2\)}}}{x^{\(2\)}\(-9\)}\right) = \frac{\(1\)}{\(2\)}\cdot\left(\ln(x\(-1) + 2\cdot\ln(2x+1)\right) - \ln(x^{2}−9)
Simplify Expression: Finally, we simplify the expression by distributing the 21 and multiplying the 2 inside the logarithm.(21)⋅(ln(x−1)+2⋅ln(2x+1))=(21)⋅ln(x−1)+ln(2x+1)−ln(x2−9)
