Natural Logarithm Function
The natural logarithm function, denoted by ln, is
defined by

The domain of the natural logarithm function is

the set of positive real number

Logarithmic Differentiation
The labor of differentiating expressions involving
quotients, products, or powers can often be substantially
reduced by first applying the natural logarithm function
and using its properties. This method, called
logarithmic differentiation

Existence of Inverse Functions
is that the function be one-to-one; that is x1  x2
implies f ( x1 )  f ( x2 ).

If f has an inverse f 1 , then f 1 also has an inverse,

1
namely f . Thus, we may called and f f a pair of
inverse functions. One function undoes (or reverse)
what the other did; that is
