THERE ARE ONLY VERY FEW IMPORTANT FORMULAE IN LOGS APART ROM THE DEFINITION OF LOG AS REVERSE EXPONENTIATION.SO IF YOU LEARN THESE IT IS ONE OF THE EASIER CHAPTERS IN MATHS.
HERE THE FORMULA IS
LN(A*B)=LN(A)+LN(B)
HENCE
LN(X*E) = LN(X) + LN(E)
NOW THE DEFINITION OF LOG...
IF
B^P =N THEN
LOG (N) TO BASE B = P
WHEN THE BASE IS E WE CALL NATURAL LOGS AND DENOTE AS LN
HENCE IF LN(E) = X SAY IT MEANS LOG (E) TO BASE B=E IS X
THAT IS FROM DEFINITION
E^X = E
HENCE X = 1
SO WE GET
LN(XE) = LN(X) +1
