The following are properties of the logarithm function with the exception of A)ln(1/ x)= -ln(x). B)ln(a + x)= ln(a)+ ln(x). C)ln(ax)= ln(a)+ ln(x). D)ln(x^a)a ln(x).

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

B) is incorrect because the logarithm of a sum, ln(a + x), is not equal to the sum of the logarithms, ln(a) + ln(x). Logarithmic properties allow for the product inside a logarithm to be expressed as the sum of two logarithms, and the division inside a logarithm to be expressed as the difference of two logarithms, but there is no property that directly splits the logarithm of a sum into the sum of logarithms.
