Q. Write the expression 12ln9+ln3 \frac{1}{2} \ln 9+\ln 3 as a single logarithm in simplest form without any negative exponents.\newlineAnswer: ln() \ln (\square)
  1. Apply Power Rule: We have the expression (12)ln9+ln3(\frac{1}{2})\ln 9 + \ln 3. To combine these logarithms into a single logarithm, we can use the logarithm properties.
  2. Calculate Square Root: First, we apply the power rule of logarithms to the term (12)ln9(\frac{1}{2})\ln 9, which states that a coefficient in front of a logarithm can be turned into an exponent inside the logarithm: aln(b)=ln(ba)a \cdot \ln(b) = \ln(b^a).\newline(12)ln9=ln(9(12))(\frac{1}{2})\ln 9 = \ln(9^{(\frac{1}{2})})
  3. Combine Logarithms: We know that 9129^{\frac{1}{2}} is the square root of 99, which is 33. \newlineln(912)=ln(3)\ln(9^{\frac{1}{2}}) = \ln(3)
  4. Calculate Product: Now we have ln(3)+ln(3)\ln(3) + \ln(3). We can combine these using the product rule for logarithms, which states that ln(a)+ln(b)=ln(a×b)\ln(a) + \ln(b) = \ln(a \times b).\newlineln(3)+ln(3)=ln(3×3)\ln(3) + \ln(3) = \ln(3 \times 3)
  5. Final Simplification: We calculate the product inside the logarithm.\newline3×3=93 \times 3 = 9\newlineln(3×3)=ln(9)\ln(3 \times 3) = \ln(9)
  6. Final Simplification: We calculate the product inside the logarithm.\newline3×3=93 \times 3 = 9\newlineln(3×3)=ln(9)\ln(3 \times 3) = \ln(9)The expression is now simplified to a single logarithm.\newlineln(9)\ln(9)
