simplify 2ln(-1)-2ln(-2)

Solution

simplify

2 ln (- 1) - 2 ln (- 2)

Solution

- 2 ln (2)

+1

Decimal Notation

- 1.38629 \dots

Solution steps

2 ln (- 1) - 2 ln (- 2)

Apply log rule:

a lo g_{c} (b) = lo g_{c} (b^{a})

2 ln (- 1) = ln ((- 1)^{2})

= ln ((- 1)^{2}) - 2 ln (- 2)

Apply log rule:

a lo g_{c} (b) = lo g_{c} (b^{a})

2 ln (- 2) = ln ((- 2)^{2})

= ln ((- 1)^{2}) - ln ((- 2)^{2})

Apply log rule:

lo g_{c} (a) - lo g_{c} (b) = lo g_{c} (\frac{a}{b})

ln ((- 1)^{2}) - ln ((- 2)^{2}) = ln (\frac{( - 1 ) ^{2}}{( - 2 ) ^{2}})

= ln (\frac{( - 1 ) ^{2}}{( - 2 ) ^{2}})

\frac{( - 1 ) ^{2}}{( - 2 ) ^{2}} = \frac{1}{4}

= ln (\frac{1}{4})

Apply log rule:

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

= - ln (4)

Rewrite

4

in power-base form:

4 = 2^{2}

= - ln (2^{2})

Apply log rule:

lo g_{a} (x^{b}) = b \cdot lo g_{a} (x)

ln (2^{2}) = 2 ln (2)

= - 2 ln (2)
