The “Natural” Log Objective: solve natural log equations; simplify natural log expressions using properties How is the natural log different from the common log?
The Natural Log • Notation: ln( ) • Base: e • Same rules/properties as log
The number “e” • The number the formula approaches as the number of “compounds” increases
Ex 1) “Swoosh” & Solve ln(x – 1) = -2 1.135
ln(2x-3) = 2.5 7.591
ln(5) + ln(x) = 4 10.92
Solve using natural log 1.099
