[natural logarithm|natural logarithm] The natural logarithm function's properties derive from its definition.
Mechanism
natural logarithm The natural logarithm function's properties derive from its definition. Differentiation of the natural logarithm follows directly from the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. The solution to In(4) = x is x = Ve*.
Effects
natural logarithm properties result in a differentiation formula that follows directly from the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
Examples
natural logarithm can extend its domain to include x < 0 by using the absolute value function and creating a new function In |x.
