Great news!
At this level of Algebra, you won't need to understand how to simplify equations using the natural log (ln) function. Eventually you will be able to use logarithms to solve problems where you need to find the exponent value, but for now we can guess and check to get approximate answers. In class tomorrow (Thursday), we'll go over what you need to be able to do for exponential growth and decay functions, and then we'll do an introduction to general exponential functions and their graphs and I'll update this site with the notes for that section. Whew!
In the meantime, if you're interested in the natural log, and the number e (even though it WON'T be on the EOC), here are a couple of sites to explore....
Natural logs and exponents
What is the natural log?
