simplify log_{3}(x+1)-log_{3}(x^2-1)

simplify

lo g_{3} (x + 1) - lo g_{3} (x^{2} - 1)

- lo g_{3} (x - 1)

Solution steps

lo g_{3} (x + 1) - lo g_{3} (x^{2} - 1)

Apply log rule:

lo g_{a} (x) - lo g_{a} (y) = lo g_{a} (\frac{x}{y})

lo g_{3} (x + 1) - lo g_{3} (x^{2} - 1) = lo g_{3} (\frac{x + 1}{x ^{2} - 1})

= lo g_{3} (\frac{x + 1}{x ^{2} - 1})

Simplify

\frac{x + 1}{x ^{2} - 1} : \frac{1}{x - 1}

= lo g_{3} (\frac{1}{x - 1})

Simplify

\frac{1}{x - 1} : (x - 1)^{- 1}

= lo g_{3} ((x - 1)^{- 1})

Apply log rule

lo g_{a} (x^{b}) = b \cdot lo g_{a} (x), assuming x > 0

lo g_{3} ((x - 1)^{- 1}) = - 1 \cdot lo g_{3} (x - 1)

= - 1 \cdot lo g_{3} (x - 1)

Apply rule:

1 \cdot a = a

= - lo g_{3} (x - 1)

lo g_{b} (z^{6} y)

lo g_{4} (\frac{a ( x + 3 ) ^{3}}{a - b ^{3}})

\frac{1}{2} ln (y) + ln (z)

- lo g_{10} (4 \cdot 1 0^{- 5})

2 lo g_{10} (8) + lo g_{10} (9) - lo g_{10} (36)
