Thread: Condense the logorithmic expression

Condense the logorithmic expression as much as possible:


3 ln x -(1/3) ln y


The answer is ln x^3 / 3(radical)y


Can a process be provided as to how one gets to the answer? I think I see what is happening, but could use clarification.

ln M/N =ln M-N
ln M^x = xlnM
apply these rules
3lnx -1/3 lny = ln x^3/y^1/3

Actually .

Typo I assume.
