Question Prompt: Question Prompt: What is the value of ln(1)?
Definition of Natural Logarithm: Understand the definition of the natural logarithm function.The natural logarithm function, denoted as ln(x), is the inverse of the exponential function ex. It gives the power to which the base e (Euler's number, approximately 2.71828) must be raised to obtain the number x.
Apply Definition to ln(1): Apply the definition of the natural logarithm to the value 1. By definition, ln(1) asks for the power to which e must be raised to get 1. Since any number raised to the power of 0 is 1, e0=1.
Conclude ln(1): Conclude the value of ln(1).Since e0=1, it follows that ln(1)=0.
