Log is a logarithm with any arbitrary base, for example log_10 100=2.
Ln is a logarithm with a base of e(Euler's number), which is 2.71828 18284 59045 23536...
To enter a natural log, press the LN button. To enter a log with base 10, press the LOG button. To enter a log with a base other than those, divide the log of the number with the log of the base, so log6(8) would be log(8)/log(6) or ln(8)/ln(6). (The ln is preferred because in calculus it is easier to work with.)
in most cases they are the same
You divide log 8 / log 16. Calculate the logarithm in any base, but use the same base for both - for example, ln 8 / ln 16.
in math, ln means natural log, or loge and e means 2.718281828
ln is the natural logarithm. That is it is defined as log base e. As we all know from school, log base 10 of 10 = 1 just as log base 3 of 3 = 1, so, likewise, log base e of e = 1 and 1.x = x. so we have ln y = x. Relace ln with log base e, and you should get y = ex

You can calculate log to any base by using: logb(x) = ln(x) / ln(b) [ln is natural log], so if you have logb(e) = ln(e) / ln(b) = 1 / ln(b)

In the context of radioactive decay, plotting the logarithm (log) of the remaining quantity versus time typically results in a straight line, indicating exponential decay, whereas plotting the natural logarithm (ln) of the remaining quantity versus time also yields a straight line with a similar slope but different scaling due to the base of the logarithm. Both graphs provide information about the decay constant, which is the slope of the line, but using log or ln does not affect the underlying relationship. The choice between log and ln depends on the preferred mathematical context, but both effectively illustrate the same decay process.

126 = n^12 12 = log(base n)126 Since log(base n)(126) = log 126/log n or log(base n)(126) = ln 126/ln n we write: 12 = ln 126/ln n 12 ln n = ln 126 ln n = ln 126/12 ln n = 0.4030234922 rewrite the natural logarithm showing base e (optional) log(base e)(n)= 0.4030234922 e^0.4030234922 = n Check e^0.4030234922 126 = (e^0.4030234922)^12 ? 126 = e^4.836281907 ? 126 = 126 True
We can define logab = (log b)/(log a)as would would for real numbers, just now the result depends on the branch of log defined at a and b.Defining log is a little complicated. But Log (with a capital) can be defined asLog z: = ln r + iθ = ln | z | + iArg z.So Log10b = (Log b)/(Log 10) = (ln | z | + iArg z)/(Log 10)

log base e = ln.
You divide log 8 / log 16. Calculate the logarithm in any base, but use the same base for both - for example, ln 8 / ln 16.
[ln(2) + i*pi]/ln(10) if you are referring to log as a base 10 log. ln refers to thenatural logarithm (log base e)The log of any negative number is imaginary. The formula above is derived fromthe relationship:-1 = ei*pisince you want log of -2, multiply both sides by 2-2 = 2*ei*pitaking natural logarithm of both sides: ln( -2) = ln(2*ei*pi ) = ln(2) + ln(ei*pi )which reduces to ln(2) + i*piIf you want log10 then divide both sides by ln(10)So log10(-2) = ln(-2)/ln(10) = [[ln(2) + i*pi]/ln(10)x = log (-2) = log10(-2)10x = -2Think about the smallest possible number you can put in for x.10-∞ = ?10-∞ = 1/10∞10∞ = ∞1/∞ = ?1/∞ = 0It is impossible to ever get 0 or a negative number because you will never reach infinity.log(-2) is undefined
