What is ln 21?

Answer

ln 21 ≈
3.0445

ln is the natural log, base e ≈ 2.71828.

≈ — the logarithm is irrational; the value is rounded to 4 decimal places.

ln 21 is the power you raise e ≈ 2.71828 to, to get 21: ey = 21.

e³ ≈ 20.0855 < 21 < e⁴ ≈ 54.5982, so 3 < ln 21 < 4

Answer point ≈ (21, 3.0445).

The curve y = ln x passes through (1, 0) and (e, 1) and rises: for x > 1 the log is positive, for 0 < x < 1 negative.
