Quizplus · Accepted Answer

ln 11eaa3e5_5567_ddab_9f8f_4350401edd3e_TB5971_11 can be written as ln (11) + ln (eaa3e5_5567_ddab_9f8f_4350401edd3e_TB5971_11).

Using the laws of logarithms, we can further simplify ln (eaa3e5_5567_ddab_9f8f_4350401edd3e_TB5971_11) as ln (eaa3e5_5568_2bd1_9f8f_5d2714902a65_TB5971_11) - ln ((x + 5)(x - 6))

Therefore, ln 11eaa3e5_5567_ddab_9f8f_4350401edd3e_TB5971_11 = ln (11) + ln (eaa3e5_5568_2bd1_9f8f_5d2714902a65_TB5971_11) - ln ((x + 5)(x - 6))

The only option that matches this is D.
