Define Natural Logarithm


There are three mathematical quantity related to the function  ea = x ,  Here the quantity " x " is said to be natural lagarithm of the number " a ". And the quantity " e " is said to be the base of the log and last one  is x which is power of the natural logarithm .The value of natural logarithm is given by as follow:

logex =a.

We can state it as above .

To show the formula

logex =a. and  ea = x represents the same we can take some examples as .

loge 10 = 2.3025

And the      e2.3025 = 10,so both formula exists.
Graph of Natural Logarithm:


Examples on Natural Logarithms:

Addition rule –


logex + logey   = logexy

Subtraction rule –

logex + logey   = logex/y
Solved problem :

Ex 1: Solve loge2 + loge4

Sol: Assume base as e. so  log 2 +log 4 = log 8

Ex 2: Solve loge4 - loge2

Sol: Base is e than log 4 -log 2 = log 2

Practice questions:

Que 1 : Change the following from exponential form to natural log form

e2.3025 =10
e1 =e

Ans : a. is  loge10 =2.3025

b.    is   normal form  as   logee = 1

Que 2: For log 23+ log 3 = log x then x=?,where all base is e.

Ans: 69

Que 3:For log 24 – log 4 =log x ,where all base is e.What is the value of x?

Ans: 6
