Final Answer: ln(x1/2(x+2)1/3(x2+3x+2)1/2)

Steps

Step 1 :Given the expression 13ln(x+2)3+12[ln(x)ln(x2+3x+2)2]

Step 2 :We can use the properties of logarithms to simplify this expression. The properties of logarithms that we will use are: alnb=lnba, lnalnb=lnab, and lna+lnb=lnab

Step 3 :Applying these properties to the given expression, we get lnx1/2+ln(x+2)1/3ln(x2+3x+2)1/2

Step 4 :Combining these logarithms into a single logarithm using the property lna+lnb=lnab and lnalnb=lnab, we get ln(x1/2(x+2)1/3(x2+3x+2)1/2)

Step 5 :Final Answer: ln(x1/2(x+2)1/3(x2+3x+2)1/2)
