Answers:

1. natural
2. e

The logarithmic function f(x) = ln(x) is the natural logarithmic function and has base  e  

=======================================

Explanation:

The ln(x) or Ln(x) is the natural log function. The order of L and n is backwards compared to "natural log", but you can think of it "log that is natural" or something along those lines.

The Ln(x) function is of the form $\log_b(x)$ where the base b is the special constant e = 2.718... (this constant is similar to pi = 3.14...)
