Answer by longjonsilver(2297)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! first, pedantic...it is ln, not In.
OK, here goes:
ln(ln(e)) + ln(e^2)
ln(ln(e)) + 2ln(e)
Since the rules of logs say a "power" can be brough to the front of the log.
Taking "natural log" and the number "e" are opposites, just like + and - are opposites. ln(e) is 1.
so we have ln(1) + 2
Any log(1) is zero, so we have 2 as the answer.
