Question

Evaluate in 5. A.) 0.62 B.) 0.70 C.) 1.61 D.) 1.95

Answer 1

Answer:

• option C) 1.61

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is to evaluate the natural logarithm of 5. Natural logarithms are logarithms with base e.

e is the irrational number equal to 2.71828182845904523536028747 ... (being irrational the decimals do not end and do not have a repetition period).

Logarithms are evaluated using tables or scientific calculators.

ln (5) = 1.6094379... it is also an irrational number, so it has infinite decimals with no repetition period.

So, rounding to two decimal numbers, ln (5) = 1.61, which is the option C).
