Understanding Logarithmic Expressions

The video tutorial explains how to evaluate a given expression using natural logarithms. It begins by stating the problem and the values of natural log x, y, and z. The tutorial then discusses the properties of logarithms, emphasizing the difference between the log of a quotient and the quotient of logs. It proceeds to expand the expression using these properties, followed by substitution of the given values. The final calculation simplifies the expression to 1/4 or 0.25. The tutorial aims to clarify the application of logarithm properties in solving such problems.

What are the given values for the natural logs of x, y, and z?

• ln(x) = 2, ln(y) = 3, ln(z) = 5

• ln(x) = 3, ln(y) = 2, ln(z) = 5

• ln(x) = 5, ln(y) = 3, ln(z) = 2

• ln(x) = 2, ln(y) = 5, ln(z) = 3

Why can't the quotient property of logarithms be used directly in this problem?

• Because it involves a difference of logs

• Because it involves a quotient of two logs

• Because it involves a product of logs

• Because it involves a sum of logs
