LN is typically the syntax used to represent the natural logarithm function. Although some programming languages and computer applications use LOG to represent this function, most calculators and math textbooks use LN. In use, it would look like this:
y=ln(x)
Which reads as "y equals the natural logarithm of x".
The natural logarithm is a logarithm that has a base of e, Euler's number, which is a mathematical constant represented by a lowercase italic e (similar to how pi is a constant represented by a symbol). Euler's number is approximately equal to 2.718281, although it continues on far past six decimal places.
Functionally, the natural logarithm can be used to solve exponential equations and is very useful in differentiating functions that are raised to another function. Typically, when the solution to an equation calls for the trivial use of a logarithm (that is the logarithm is only being used as a tool to rewrite the equation), either the natural logarithm or the common logarithm (base 10) is used.

How would you solve ln 4 plus 3 ln x equals 5 ln 2?
Ln 4 + 3Ln x = 5Ln 2 Ln 4 + Ln x3= Ln 25 = Ln 32 Ln x3= Ln 32 - Ln 4 = Ln (32/4) = Ln 8= Ln 2
What is the derivative of y equals xlnx?
Use the product rule.y = x lnxy' = x (ln x)' + x' (ln x) = x (1/x) + 1 ln x = 1 + ln xUse the product rule.y = x lnxy' = x (ln x)' + x' (ln x) = x (1/x) + 1 ln x = 1 + ln xUse the product rule.y = x lnxy' = x (ln x)' + x' (ln x) = x (1/x) + 1 ln x = 1 + ln xUse the product rule.y = x lnxy' = x (ln x)' + x' (ln x) = x (1/x) + 1 ln x = 1 + ln x
Is there a function where the first derivative goes to infinity for x going to 0 and where the first derivative equals 0 when x is 1?
Yes, the function ln(x) where ln is the logarithm to base e.Yes, the function ln(x) where ln is the logarithm to base e.Yes, the function ln(x) where ln is the logarithm to base e.Yes, the function ln(x) where ln is the logarithm to base e.
What is the equation for exponential interpolation?
The correct formula for exponential interpolation is: y =ya*(yb/ya)^[(x-xa)/(xb-xa)], xa<x<xb and also, x=xa*[ln(yb)-ln(y)]/[ln(yb)-ln(ya)]+xb*[ln(y)-ln(ya)]/[ln(yb)-ln(ya)], ya<y<yb
What is the value of loge if base is not equal to e?
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)
How would you solve ln 4 plus 3 ln x equals 5 ln 2?
Ln 4 + 3Ln x = 5Ln 2 Ln 4 + Ln x3= Ln 25 = Ln 32 Ln x3= Ln 32 - Ln 4 = Ln (32/4) = Ln 8= Ln 2
How do you work out Ln 24 - ln x equals ln 6?

Why is the symbol for natural log ln?
ln(ln)
What is the value of x given the equation 5 to the power of 1- 2 x equals 0.25 correct to 3 decimal places Please show working out?
51-2x = 0.25 51 * 5-2x = 0.25 5-2x = 0.05 -2x*ln(5) = ln(0.05) x = ln(0.05)/[-2*ln(5)] = 0.931
If you have a number with the exponent x how do you find the answer?
Take the natural logarithm (ln) of both sides of the equation to cancel the exponent (e). For example, ify=Aexlog transform both sides and apply the rules of logarithms:ln(y)=ln(Aex)ln(y)=ln(A)+ln(ex)ln(y)=ln(A)+xrearrange in terms of x:x=ln(y)-ln(A), or more simplyx=ln(y/A)
What is the derivative of y equals xlnx?

Solve or x 2 ln 9 plus 2 ln 5 equals 2 ln x minus 3?
2 ln(9) + 2 ln(5) = 2 ln(x) - 3ln(81) + ln(25) = ln(x2) - 37.61332 = ln(x2) - 3ln(x2) = 10.61332ln(x) = 5.30666x = e5.30666 = 201.676 (rounded)
What is equivalent to ln 6 plus ln 4?
You can also write this as ln(6 times 4)
How do you solve for x 3 ln x - ln 3x equals 0?
3 ln(x) = ln(3x)ln(x3) = ln(3x)x3 = 3xx2 = 3x = sqrt(3)x = 1.732 (rounded)
Simplify In e to the 7th power?
It depends. If you mean (ln e)7, then the answer is 1, since (ln e) = 1. If you mean ln(e7), then the answer is 7, since ln(e7) = 7 (ln e) and (ln e) = 1.
Is there a function where the first derivative goes to infinity for x going to 0 and where the first derivative equals 0 when x is 1?
Yes, the function ln(x) where ln is the logarithm to base e.Yes, the function ln(x) where ln is the logarithm to base e.Yes, the function ln(x) where ln is the logarithm to base e.Yes, the function ln(x) where ln is the logarithm to base e.
