Math Problem Statement

ln(1+x/1-x) = ln(1+x) - ln (1-x)

Solution

Let's examine the given expression and prove if the equality holds:

We are asked to verify:

ln(1+x1x)=ln(1+x)ln(1x)\ln\left(\frac{1+x}{1-x}\right) = \ln(1+x) - \ln(1-x)

Step 1: Use logarithmic identity

Recall the logarithmic identity:

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

So, on the right-hand side of the equation, we can apply this identity:

ln(1+x)ln(1x)=ln(1+x1x)\ln(1+x) - \ln(1-x) = \ln\left(\frac{1+x}{1-x}\right)

Step 2: Conclusion

This shows that the right-hand side simplifies to the left-hand side of the equation. Hence, the given equation is true.

ln(1+x1x)=ln(1+x)ln(1x)\ln\left(\frac{1+x}{1-x}\right) = \ln(1+x) - \ln(1-x)
