Question 636604: a. The approximation of the natural logarithm of 2: ln 2 ≈ 0.693 is commonly used by applied scientists, biologists, chemists, and computer scientists. For example, chemists use it to compute the half-life of decaying substances. Based on this approximation and the power rule for logarithmic expressions, how could you approximate ln 8, without a calculator? Explain.

-------------
8 = 2^3
ln(8) = 3*ln(2)
Multiply it by 3
