Step 1.1

Simplify $4 \ln (x)$ by moving $4$ inside the logarithm.

$\ln (x^{4}) - 4 \ln (y)$

Step 1.2

Simplify $- 4 \ln (y)$ by moving $4$ inside the logarithm.

$\ln (x^{4}) - \ln (y^{4})$

Step 2

Use the quotient property of logarithms, $\log_{b} (x) - \log_{b} (y) = \log_{b} (\frac{x}{y})$ .

$\ln (\frac{x^{4}}{y^{4}})$
