• The property of equality

• The property of exponents

• The property of logarithms

• The property of addition

What is the result of taking the natural logarithm of e raised to the power of x?

• e

• x

• 1

• 0

Why is it important to understand the base of a logarithm when solving equations?

• It affects the accuracy of the solution

• It determines the speed of calculation

• It is not important

• It helps in simplifying the equation

How can you verify the solution of a logarithmic equation using a calculator?
