Checkpoint: Rewrite using Natural Logarithms Solution

Write as a single natural logarithm.

$\ln x - (4 \ln y + 3 \ln z)$

$\ln x - (\ln y^{4} + \ln z^{3}) \ln x - \ln y^{4} z^{3} \ln (\frac{x}{y^{4} z^{3}})$

Note

Q: What properties (rules) did you use to contract the expression into a single log?

A: power, product, quotient
