How to Evaluate Logarithms with Natural Base?
- The natural logarithm \( \ln x \) with base \( e \) is the exponent to which \( e \) must be raised to equal \( x \).
- \( \ln x \) and \( e^x \) are inverse functions, meaning \( \ln(e^x) = x \) and \( e^{\ln x} = x \).
- To evaluate \( \ln(e^3) \), recognize that \( \ln(e^3) = 3 \) because \( e \) raised to the power of \( 3 \) equals \( e^3 \).
