Answer

$f(x)=g(x)$

Work Step by Step

a. For graph, please see image attached. b. For algebraic verification, we use Th.5.2. Property $1$ : $\ln(1)=0$ Property $2$ : $\ln(ab)=\ln a + \ln b$ Property $3$ : $\ln(a^{n})=n\cdot\ln a $ Property 4 : $\displaystyle \ln(\frac{a}{b})=\ln a - \ln b$ -------------- $f(x)=\ln\sqrt{x(x^{2}+1)}=\ln[x(x^{2}+1)]^{1/2}$= ... property $3$... $=\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\cdot\ln[x(x^{2}+1)]$= ... property $2$... $=\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\cdot[\ln x+\ln(x^{2}+1)]$=$ g(x)$
