Simplify/Condense 2 natural log of e^6- natural log of e^5

Problem

2*ln(e6)−ln(e5)

Solution

1. Apply the power property of logarithms to the first term, which states a*ln(b)=ln(ba)

ln((e6)2)−ln(e5)

2. Simplify the exponent using the power of a power rule (xa)b=x(a*b)

ln(e12)−ln(e5)

3. Apply the quotient property of logarithms, which states ln(a)−ln(b)=ln(a/b)

ln((e12)/(e5))

4. Simplify the fraction by subtracting the exponents of the base e

ln(e7)

5. Apply the inverse property of natural logarithms, where ln(ex)=x

7

Final Answer

2*ln(e6)−ln(e5)=7
