  2. The Natural Logarithmic Function • This about what you know about the integral power rule. • One important disclaimer: it doesn’t apply when n = -1. • What would happen if n = -1??

  3. The Natural Logarithmic Function • Definition of the Natural Logarithmic Function: • The domain of the natural logarithmic function is the set of all positive real numbers.

  4. Let’s look at the graph • Set your window to [-1, 10] by [-5, 5] • Graph in and sketch below. • Graph in and sketch below.

  5. Theorem: Properties of the Natural Logarithmic Function • The natural logarithmic function has the following properties: • The domain is (0, ∞) and the range is (-∞, ∞). • The function is continuous, increasing, and one-to-one. • The graph is concave downward. • Do you remember how we check for concavity?????

  6. Theorem: Logarithmic Properties • If a and b are positive numbers and n is rational, then the following properties are true:

  7. Expanding Logarithmic Expressions

  8. The Number e • The number e is the base of ln. • e and ln are inverses of each other. • In the equation , the value of x to make this statement true is e. • e is irrational and has the decimal approximation

  9. Definition of e • The letter e denotes the positive real number such that
