Logging 12*e3c: Is ln(e) Cancelled Out?

AI Thread Summary
When taking the logarithm of 12*e^(3c), it is important to apply the logarithmic property that states log(ab) = log(a) + log(b). This means you should calculate it as ln(12) + ln(e^(3c)). Since ln(e) equals 1, the expression simplifies to ln(12) + 3c. Therefore, the initial assumption that ln(e) cancels out is correct, but the full calculation requires considering ln(12) as well. Understanding these logarithmic properties is essential for accurate calculations.

If you have to take the log of 12*e3c
Can I do it like this: 12*ln(e3c)?
So ln e fall away, so the result is: 12*3c = 36c
Or do I have to do it like this: ln(12*e3c?

I'm not sure of it.

Use the rule that log(ab)=log(a)+log(b) and I'm sure things should fall into place :smile:

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
