24 Μαΐ 2024 · The natural logarithm (base-e-logarithm) of a positive real number x, represented by lnx or log e x, is the exponent to which the base ‘e’ (≈ 2.718…, Euler’s number) is raised to obtain ‘x.’. Mathematically, ln (x) = log e (x) = y if and only if e y = x. It is also written as: ln x = ∫ 1 x 1 t d t.
The natural logarithm of a number is its logarithm to the base of the mathematical constant e, which is an irrational and transcendental number approximately equal to 2.718 281 828 459. [1] The natural logarithm of x is generally written as ln x, log e x, or sometimes, if the base e is implicit, simply log x. [2] [3] Parentheses are sometimes added for clarity, giving ln(x), log e (x), or log(x).
In this guide, we explain the four most important natural logarithm rules, discuss other natural log properties you should know, go over several examples of varying difficulty, and explain how natural logs differ from other logarithms.
A formula using natural logarithms is the continuous compound interest formula where A is the final amount, P is the amount invested, r is the interest rate, and t is time. Example #1 : Find the value of $500 after 4 years invested at an annual rate of 9%
Example 3.2.1. Suppose a population, initially comprising 100,000 persons, is growing at the per capita rate of k = 3 births per thousand persons per year. Write down an initial value problem modeling this situation. How large will this population be 37 years from now? How long will it take the population to double? Solution.

After understanding the exponential function, our next target is the natural logarithm. Given how the natural log is described in math books, there’s little “natural” about it: it’s defined as the inverse of $e^x$, a strange enough exponent already.
