`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.
