Section 7.2 Natural Logarithms:
Definition of natural logarithm function natural
logarithm of any positive number x, written as ln x,
is defined as integral. Natural logarithm is function
given by ln x =
-
, x > 0.
Number e is number in the domain of natural
logarithm satisfying ln(e) = 1
= 1.
Derivative of y = ln x:
for every positive value x,
, chain rule
extends formula for positive functions u(x):
so

Properties of logarithms
1. Product rule: ln bx = ln b + ln x
2. Quotient rule: ln
b
= ln b ln x
3. Reciprocal rule: ln
= -ln x
4. Power rule: ln x
r

dx = ln () + C whenever f(x) differentiable
function that is never zero.
dx = -cos x + C dx = -ln + C
dx = sin x + C dx = ln + C
dx = ln + C
dx = -ln + C
Section 7.3 Exponential Functions:
Inverse of ln x and the number e for every real
number x, we define natural exponential function
to be e

= exp x.
Inverse equations for e

and ln x:

Rules for base a logarithms for any numbers x > 0
and y > 0
1. Product rule: log a xy = log a x + log a y
2. Quotient rule: log a
