The natural logarithm of a number is its logarithm to the base of the mathematical constant e, where e is an irrational and transcendental number approximately equal to 2.718281828459. The natural logarithm of x is generally written as ln x, loge x, or sometimes, if the base e is implicit, simply log x. Example: Express 3x(22x) = 7(5x) in the form ax = b.
Step-by-step explanation:
to convert into logarithmic form, identify the base of the equation and move the base to the other side of the equal sign and add the word “log”. Do not move anything but the base, the other numbers or variables will not change sides.
The "common" logarithm has 10 as its base and is denoted as “log.” The following formula allows you to take the natural logarithm by using the base-10 logarithm: ln(number) = log(number) ÷ log(2.71828).
