Write the expression as the logarithm of a single number or expression 4 In 2 +3 In 5
4 In 2 + 3 In 5-
(Simplify your answer.)

ln(2000) = 7.601

Step-by-step explanation:

For this we need to know the rules of logarithms, specifically the product rule and the power rule.  The product rule is simply ln(a*b) = ln(a) + ln(b).  The power rule is simply ln(a^b) = b ln(a).

With these rules, let's begin to simplify the expression:

4 ln(2) + 3 ln(5)

= ln(2^4) + ln(5^3)

= ln(16) + ln(125)

= ln(16 * 125)

= ln(2000)

= 7.601

Hope this helps.  Cheers.

the answer is b.)
