We'll prove that simplifying the fraction, the result does
not depend on the variable x.
We notice that the numerator
is a sum of logarithms that have matching bases.
We'll
apply the product rule:
log a + log b = log
(a*b)
log (x^2) + log (x^3) =
log (x^2*x^3)
log (x^2*x^3)= log
[x^(2+3)]
log (x^2) + log (x^3)
= log (x^5)
We'll use the power rule of
logarithms:
log (x^5)= 5*log (x)
(1)
We also notice that the denominator is a sum of
logarithms that have matching bases.
[ln (x^2) + ln
(x^3)] = ln (x^5)
[ln (x^2) +
ln (x^3)] = 5*ln x (2)
We'll
substitute both numerator and denominator by (1) and
(2):
5*log (x) /5*ln x
We'll
simplify:
log (x) /ln x
We'll
transform the base of the numerator, namely 5, into the base
4.
ln x = log (x) * ln
10
We'll re-write the
fraction:
log (x) /ln x = log (x) / log (x) * ln
10
We'll simplify:
1/ln
10
Since the result is not depending on the
variable x, the given fraction is a constant.
