`f(x,y) = 2ln(xy)` Determine whether the function is homogenous and if it is, determine its degree

Given


`f(x,y) = 2ln(xy)=2ln(x)+2ln(y)`


to check whether the given function  is homogenous


then it has to be


`f(tx,ty)=t^n f(x,y)`


so ,


`f(tx,ty)=2ln(tx *ty) = 2ln(t^2 xy) = 2ln(t^2)+2ln(xy)`


`=4ln(t)+2ln(x)+2ln(y)`


which is not of the form` f(tx,ty)=t^n f(x,y)`


so the function is not Homogenous.

Thomas Jefferson's election in 1800 is sometimes called the Revolution of 1800. Why could it be described in this way?

Thomas Jefferson’s election in 1800 can be called the “Revolution of 1800” because it was the first time in America’s short history that pow...
