Math Problem Statement

Check all that are true. A . ln(A ^ 2) - 3 * ln(e) . 2/3 * ln(A/e); (ln(A ^ 2))/(ln(e ^ 3)) . ln((A ^ 2)/(e ^ 3)) E. ln(A ^ 2 - e ^ 3) C.

Solution

Let's evaluate the expressions to determine which statements are true. I'll assume that "C." is simply a reference point and not part of an actual expression. I'll go through each expression and simplify them:

Expression A: ln(A2)3ln(e)\ln(A^2) - 3 \cdot \ln(e)

  1. ln(A2)\ln(A^2) simplifies to 2ln(A)2\ln(A) because ln(xy)=yln(x)\ln(x^y) = y\ln(x).
  2. ln(e)=1\ln(e) = 1, so 3ln(e)=33 \cdot \ln(e) = 3.

Thus, the expression simplifies to: 2ln(A)32\ln(A) - 3

Expression B: 23ln(Ae)\frac{2}{3} \cdot \ln\left(\frac{A}{e}\right)

This can be broken down as:

  1. ln(Ae)=ln(A)ln(e)\ln\left(\frac{A}{e}\right) = \ln(A) - \ln(e).
  2. ln(e)=1\ln(e) = 1, so this becomes ln(A)1\ln(A) - 1.

Thus, the expression simplifies to: 23(ln(A)1)=23ln(A)23\frac{2}{3} \cdot (\ln(A) - 1) = \frac{2}{3}\ln(A) - \frac{2}{3}

Expression C: ln(A2)ln(e3)\frac{\ln(A^2)}{\ln(e^3)}

  1. ln(A2)=2ln(A)\ln(A^2) = 2\ln(A).
  2. ln(e3)=3ln(e)=3\ln(e^3) = 3\ln(e) = 3 because ln(e)=1\ln(e) = 1.

Thus, the expression simplifies to: 2ln(A)3\frac{2\ln(A)}{3}

Expression D: ln(A2e3)\ln\left(\frac{A^2}{e^3}\right)

This expression can be broken down as:

  1. ln(A2e3)=ln(A2)ln(e3)\ln\left(\frac{A^2}{e^3}\right) = \ln(A^2) - \ln(e^3).
  2. ln(A2)=2ln(A)\ln(A^2) = 2\ln(A) and ln(e3)=3\ln(e^3) = 3.

Thus, the expression simplifies to: 2ln(A)32\ln(A) - 3

Expression E: ln(A2e3)\ln(A^2 - e^3)

This is already in its simplest form. It's the natural logarithm of the difference between A2A^2 and e3e^3.

Comparing the Expressions:

  • Expression A simplifies to 2ln(A)32\ln(A) - 3.
  • Expression B simplifies to 23ln(A)23\frac{2}{3}\ln(A) - \frac{2}{3}.
  • Expression C simplifies to 2ln(A)3\frac{2\ln(A)}{3}.
  • Expression D simplifies to 2ln(A)32\ln(A) - 3.
  • Expression E is ln(A2e3)\ln(A^2 - e^3).

Conclusion:

  • Expression A and Expression D are identical, so both are true relative to each other.
  • Expression B and Expression C are not identical to any others and cannot be directly simplified to match A or D.
  • Expression E cannot be simplified further and is distinct from the others.

Therefore, the true statements are: A and D.
