General Limit Property

For any function , if exists, and as well as , then:

The Irrational Number and Natural Logarithms

  1. The Irrational Number

    Setting , as , , so:
  2. The Natural Logarithm, denoted , is the logarithm with base .
    1. The number is a positive real number not equal to , so the exponential function is defined for all real numbers.
    2. Since is the logarithm with base , the inverse of the function is the exponential function .
    3. The exponential function and the logarithmic function are inverses of each other:
