Ln [ x * √ [ x - 1 ] / (x^4 + 4 ]  =

 

Ln (x)  +   Ln (√[x + 1] )   -  Ln ( x^4 + 4 ])  =

 

Ln (x )   +  (1/2)Ln (x - 1)  - Ln (x^4 + 4)   =

 

[ 2Ln (x)  + Ln ( x - 1)  - 2Ln (x^4 + 4)  ]   /  2

 

You just needed  to  bracket  the  numerator...the way you wrote it looks like you are just dividing the last term by 2, instead of all three terms.....brackets  and parentheses  are  important.....
