It is fairly simple. You only need to recall the relation between the exponential number (e) and natural logarithm (ln). ln(x) is simply the inverse of the function e^x, which means that:
e%5E%28lnx%29=x
As with ordinary logarithm, N%2Aln%28x%29=ln%28x%5EN%29. For this situation, x = e and N = -1, yielding:
e%5E%28-ln%28e%29%29=e%5E%28ln%28e%5E%28-1%29%29%29=e%5E%28-1%29=1%2Fe
