Answer:

[tex] 4ln [\frac{x^2 (x^3-1)}{x-5}][/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following expression:

[tex] 4[ln(x^3-1) +2ln(x) -ln(x-5)][/tex]

For this case we can apply the following property:

[tex] a log_c (b) = log_c (b^a)[/tex]

And we can rewrite the following expression like this:

[tex] 2 ln(x) = ln(x^2)[/tex]

And we can rewrite like this our expression:

[tex] 4[ln(x^3-1) +ln(x^2) -ln(x-5)][/tex]

Now we can use the following property:

[tex] log_c (a) +log_c (b) = log_c (ab)[/tex]

And we got this:

[tex] 4[ln(x^3-1)(x^2) -ln(x-5)][/tex]

And now we can apply the following property:

[tex] log_c (a) -log_c (b) = log_c (\frac{a}{b})[/tex]

And we got this:

[tex] 4ln [\frac{x^2 (x^3-1)}{x-5}][/tex]

And that would be our final answer on this case.
