What does e represent in natural logarithms?

[fathom apex]

Eulers constant

[slender elbow]

is it like avogadros number for mol to mass stuff in chem

or like pi rather would be a better example

[fathom apex]

Pi would be a similar number

[slender elbow]

alright thank you 👍

[fathom apex]

np :)

[dapper quail]

Mathematically a natural logarithm is a logarithm that uses “e” as a base a.k.a. euler’s number

[slender elbow]

what would be the purpose of doing this?

[fathom apex]

Purpose of what specifically?

[slender elbow]

finding the inverse

[fathom apex]

Let's say you want to find what x is when you have the function 5^x=3. You would take log_5 of both sides to isolate x

[slender elbow]

alright

[slender elbow]

can i dm you?

[fathom apex]

sure

[maiden tundra]

napierian base

would ln(1/x^2) be equal to 2ln(1)-2ln(x)? the calculator says -2ln(x), but would one be more proper of an answer than the other? I got what's italicized..

[neon drum]

Your answer is true, but think for a moment about what ln(1) is
