Ln a/b=

  • A.lna+lnb
  • B.lnaxlnb
  • C.lna-lnb
  • D.lna/lnb

Answer: C

The quotient rule turns a division into a subtraction:

\[ \ln\frac{a}{b} \;=\; \ln a - \ln b \]

It follows from the product rule. Writing \( a = \frac{a}{b}\cdot b \) gives \( \ln a = \ln\frac{a}{b} + \ln b \), and rearranging leaves the result.

Note what it is not: \( \ln\frac{a}{b} \) is not \( \frac{\ln a}{\ln b} \). That last expression is the change-of-base ratio, a different quantity altogether.
