Math Problem Statement

2 1 ​ ln( x+1 x ​ )

Solution

To simplify the expression involving a natural logarithm:

ln(x+1x)\ln\left(\frac{x+1}{x}\right)

we can use logarithmic properties.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Apply the Quotient Rule of Logarithms:

    The quotient rule for logarithms states that:

    ln(ab)=ln(a)ln(b)\ln\left(\frac{a}{b}\right) = \ln(a) - \ln(b)

    Applying this to the given expression:

    ln(x+1x)=ln(x+1)ln(x)\ln\left(\frac{x+1}{x}\right) = \ln(x+1) - \ln(x)

  2. Result:

    The simplified form of the expression is:

    ln(x+1)ln(x)\ln(x+1) - \ln(x)
