How is "ln" different from "log"?

razor99 (razor99):

???????????????????

Directrix (directrix):

ln is a base e logarithm and log is a base 10 logarithm.

OpenStudy (lalaly):

ln is the natural log,,, its log with base e\[\log_e(x)=\ln(x)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ln is log to base e, where e is 2.71 aprrox.

That makes sense, thankx :). please answer my other question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\( \log \) does not unambiguously mean the base-\(10\) logarithm, it is rather "the logarithm that we usually use".

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In many areas of higher mathematics, \( log \) means the natural logarithm and the \( \ln \) is seldom seen.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In computer science we often use \( log \) to mean \( log_2 \)

OpenStudy (lalaly):

Well that means that only one answer is incorrect, not ALL!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry, I would refrain from expressing judgement in any form.

OpenStudy (lalaly):

Fool:P
