Logarithms having base ‘e’ are called

  • A.pure logarithms
  • B.common logarithms
  • C.natural logarithms
  • D.infinite logarithms

Answer: C

A logarithm to base \( e \), where \( e \approx 2.71828 \), is a natural logarithm, written \( \ln x \) or \( \log_e x \).

  • Natural - base \( e \), the base at which the derivative of \( \log_b x \) is exactly \( 1/x \), which is why calculus uses it throughout.
  • Common - base 10, the one meant by a bare \( \log \) in most arithmetic work.

There is no such thing as a pure or an infinite logarithm; both are invented distractors.
