I high lighted what I am confused about. Can someone explain to me how it becomes (x+3)^2 as well as how ln x combines with ln (x+3)^2

Those come from the following rules of logarithms:

b * ln(a) = ln(ab)

and

ln(p) + ln(q) = ln(p*q)

and

ln(m) - ln(n) =\(\displaystyle \displaystyle ln\left (\frac{m}{n}\right )\)
