Question:
if I have the eq.
y=hx+n
and I want to know ln(y), how do I process
ln(hx+n)?

Thanks
 

 

Hi Anibal,

In general there is no simplification you can do with ln(hx+n). I am sure you know that for products

ln(p q) = ln(p) + ln(q)

and that for powers

ln(pr) = r ln(p).

However if you have the logarithm of a sum there is no simplification.
