Ln is a natural logarithm
In fact, it is log (1.1012, 5.9546), and the definition is to find this n and then use the formula to find the inverse.
Remember some formulas and you will know what is going on.
When a n = b, then n=log(a, b) (a is subscript, a >;; 0,b & gt0,a! = 1)
Ln(b)=log(e, b) (e is a natural constant)
lg(b)=log( 10,b)
log(a,b)=log(c,b)/log(c,a)
log(a,b^n)=n*log(a,b)
log(a,b*c)=log(a,b)+log(a,c)
log(a,b/c)=log(a,b)-log(a,c)
What is the change of formula?
n
= log( 1. 175/ 1.067,5 1900/8 176)
= LG(5 1900/8 176)/(LG( 1. 175/ 1.067))
= LG(5 1900/8 176)/(LG( 1. 175)-LG( 1.067))
In fact, it is also possible to write all in ln. According to the formula of changing the base number, the base number can be any number, but ln and lg are commonly used.
