Do you notice any patterns? X -1 ? Why can’t we integrate
We’ve already seen: ∫ax n dx = ax n+1 + c n+1 n ≠ -1
Objectives: To introduce Natural Logarithms and e x To recognise properties of exponential and natural log graphs To begin to understand the integral of 1/x
Do you notice any patterns?

Graph of y = ln x (natural logarithm, log base e)
Activity Match the graphs with the functions
a y Remember y=a x x=log a y If y=e x then x=log e y or x=ln y e.g. e ln3 = ?
