I'm having a lot of trouble on this problem. The question is :write the following expression as a sum and/or difference of logarithms
log(the square route of x+2) / x^2-x
Using the properties, I know that the first part will be 1/2log(x+2)...but I can not figure out what to do with the x^2-x part. please help! thanks!

if the problem is the log of [sqrt(x+2)/(x^2=x)]
then the denominator would be subtracted and can be expressed as
x(x-1) so after you first part is guess you can put
- (log x + log(x-1))
