[] You should know the definition of the natural logarithmic function.
logex = lnx, x>O
[] You should know the properties of the natural logarithmic function.
(a) In 1 = 0 since e° = 1.
(b) In e = 1 since e1 = e.
(c) In ex = x since ex = ex.
(d) If In x = In y, then x = y.
[] You should be able to graph logarithmic functions.
