$\ln (x) (x - 8)$

Step 1

Apply the distributive property.

$\ln (x) x + \ln (x) \cdot - 8$

Step 2

Move $- 8$ to the left of $\ln (x)$ .

$\ln (x) x - 8 \cdot \ln (x)$

Step 3

Reorder factors in $\ln (x) x - 8 \ln (x)$ .

$x \ln (x) - 8 \ln (x)$

$[\begin{array}{c} x^{2} & \frac{1}{2} \\ \sqrt{π} & \int x d x \end{array}]$
