Understand Properties of Natural Logarithms: Understand the properties of natural logarithms.The natural logarithm function, denoted as ln(x), is the inverse of the exponential function ex. The natural logarithm of 1 is a special case because any number to the power of 0 is 1. Therefore, e0=1. Since ln(x) is the inverse of ex, we can deduce that ln(1) should equal 0 because it is asking for the power that ex0 must be raised to in order to get 1.
Apply Property to Find Value: Apply the property of the natural logarithm to find the value of ln(1). Using the property from Step 1, we can directly state that ln(1)=0, because e0=1.
