20. 4-20 Natural Logarithms natural logarithm A logarithm with base e is a natural logarithm. ln x = log e x It is called a natural logarithm because it occurs in life sciences and economics in natural situations that involve growth and decay.

21. 4-21 Logarithms with Other Bases You can use a calculator to find the values of either common logarithms (base 10) or natural logarithms (base e). For logarithms of other bases, you must use the “changed of base” formula. Change-of-Base Theorem For any positive real numbers x, a, and b, where a ≠ 1 and b ≠ 1,
