Question
Base e for Natural Logarithms Problem: Figure 6-3g shows the graph of y = ln x and the horizontal line y = 1. Because logb b = 1 for any permissible base b, the value of x where the two graphs cross must be the base of the ln function. By finding this intersection graphically, confirm that e is the base of the natural logarithm function. Figure 6-3g
Solution
The first step in solving 6-3 problem number 39 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Base e for Natural Logarithms Problem: Figure 6-3g shows the graph of y = ln x and the horizontal line y = 1. Because logb b = 1 for any permissible base b, the value of x where the two graphs cross must be the base of the ln function. By finding this intersection graphically, confirm that e is the base of the natural logarithm function. Figure 6-3g
From the textbook chapter The Uniqueness Theorem and Properties of Logarithmic Functions you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
