Definition of natural logarithm
When
e y = x
Then base e logarithm of x is
ln(x) = loge(x) = y
The e constant or Euler's number is:
e ≈ 2.71828183
Ln as inverse function of exponential function
The natural logarithm function ln(x) is the inverse function of the exponential function ex.
For x>0,
f (f -1(x)) = eln(x) = x
Or
f -1(f (x)) = ln(ex) = x
Natural logarithm rules and properties
Rule name | Rule | Example |
Product rule
|
ln(x ∙ y) = ln(x) + ln(y)
|
ln(3 ∙ 7) = ln(3) +ln(7)
|
Quotient rule
|
ln(x / y) = ln(x) - ln(y)
|
ln(3 / 7) = ln(3) -ln(7)
|
Power rule
|
ln(x y) = y ∙ ln(x)
|
ln(28) = 8∙ ln(2)
|
ln derivative
|
f (x) = ln(x) ⇒ f ' (x) = 1 / x |
|
ln integral
|
∫ ln(x)dx = x ∙ (ln(x) - 1) + C |
|
ln of negative number
|
ln(x) is undefined when x≤ 0 |
|
ln of zero
|
ln(0) is undefined |
|
|
|
ln of one
|
ln(1) = 0 |
|
ln of infinity
|
lim ln(x) = ∞ ,whenx→∞ |
|
Logarithm product rule
The logarithm of the multiplication of x and y is the sum of logarithm of x and logarithm of y.
logb(x ∙ y) = logb(x) + logb(y)
For example:
log10(3 ∙ 7) = log10(3) + log10(7)
Logarithm quotient rule
The logarithm of the division of x and y is the difference of logarithm of x and logarithm of y.
logb(x / y) = logb(x) - logb(y)
For example:
log10(3 / 7) = log10(3) - log10(7)
Logarithm power rule
The logarithm of x raised to the power of y is y times the logarithm of x.
logb(x y) = y ∙ logb(x)
For example:
log10(28) = 8∙ log10(2)
Derivative of natural logarithm
The derivative of the natural logarithm function is the reciprocal function.
When
f (x) = ln(x)
The derivative of f(x) is:
f ' (x) = 1 / x
Integral of natural logarithm
The integral of the natural logarithm function is given by:
When
f (x) = ln(x)
The integral of f(x) is:
∫ f (x)dx = ∫ ln(x)dx = x ∙ (ln(x) - 1) + C
Ln of 0
The natural logarithm of zero is undefined:
ln(0) is undefined
The limit near 0 of the natural logarithm of x, when x approaches zero, is minus infinity:
Ln of 1
The natural logarithm of one is zero:
ln(1) = 0
Ln of infinity
The limit of natural logarithm of infinity, when x approaches infinity is equal to infinity:
lim ln(x) = ∞, when x→∞
