SIMPLIFYING NATURAL LOGARITHMS
A. The inverse of a natural base (e) is the
natural log (ln)
B. If there is ln and e, they cancel each other
out
C. Natural logarithms have the same properties
as log base 10 and logarithms with other
bases
D. The base of a natural log is e but it will never
be written as the base.
E. ln + e = FELONY
