Write the definition of the natural logarithm as an integral.
The Natural Logarithm as an Integral
Recall the power rule for integrals:
\[\int {x}^{n}dx=\frac{{x}^{n+1}}{n+1}+C,\ n\ne \text{-}1.\]Clearly, this does not work when \(n=-1,\) as it would force us to divide by zero. So, what do we do with \(\int \frac{1}{x}dx?\) Recall from the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus that \({\int }_{1}^{x}\frac{1}{t}dt\) is an antiderivative of \(1\text{/}x.\) Therefore, we can make the following definition.
For \(x>1,\) this is just the area under the curve \(y=1\text{/}t\) from \(1\) to \(x.\) For \(x<1,\) we have \({\int }_{1}^{x}\frac{1}{t}dt=\text{-}{\int }_{x}^{1}\frac{1}{t}dt,\) so in this case it is the negative of the area under the curve from \(x\ \text{to}\ 1\) (see the following figure).
Notice that \(\text{ln}\ 1=0.\) Furthermore, the function \(y=1\text{/}t>0\) for \(x>0.\) Therefore, by the properties of integrals, it is clear that \(\text{ln}\ x\) is increasing for \(x>0.\)
Properties of the Natural Logarithm
Because of the way we defined the natural logarithm, the following differentiation formula falls out immediately as a result of to the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
A graph of \(\text{ln}\ x\) is Notice that it is continuous throughout its domain of \((0,\infty ).\)
Example
Try it.
Calculate the following derivatives:
- \(\frac{d}{dx}\text{ln}(5{x}^{3}-2)\)
- \(\frac{d}{dx}{(\text{ln}(3x))}^{2}\)
Solution
We need to apply the chain rule in both cases.
- \(\frac{d}{dx}\text{ln}(5{x}^{3}-2)=\frac{15{x}^{2}}{5{x}^{3}-2}\)
- \(\frac{d}{dx}{(\text{ln}(3x))}^{2}=\frac{2(\text{ln}(3x))\cdot 3}{3x}=\frac{2(\text{ln}(3x))}{x}\)
Note that if we use the absolute value function and create a new function \(\text{ln}\ |x|,\) we can extend the domain of the natural logarithm to include \(x<0.\) Then \((d\text{/}(dx))\text{ln}\ |x|=1\text{/}x.\) This gives rise to the familiar integration formula.
Example
Try it.
Calculate the integral \(\int \frac{x}{{x}^{2}+4}dx.\)
Solution
Using \(u\)-substitution, let \(u={x}^{2}+4.\) Then \(du=2x\ dx\) and we have
\[\int \frac{x}{{x}^{2}+4}dx=\frac{1}{2}\int \frac{1}{u}du=\frac{1}{2}\text{ln}\ |u|+C=\frac{1}{2}\text{ln}\ |{x}^{2}+4|+C=\frac{1}{2}\text{ln}({x}^{2}+4)+C.\]Although we have called our function a “logarithm,” we have not actually proved that any of the properties of logarithms hold for this function. We do so here.

Defining the Number
Now that we have the natural logarithm defined, we can use that function to define the number \(e.\)
To put it another way, the area under the curve \(y=1\text{/}t\) between \(t=1\) and \(t=e\) is \(1\) (). The proof that such a number exists and is unique is left to you. (Hint: Use the Intermediate Value Theorem to prove existence and the fact that \(\text{ln}\ x\) is increasing to prove uniqueness.)
The number \(e\) can be shown to be irrational, although we won’t do so here (see the Student Project in Taylor and Maclaurin Series). Its approximate value is given by
\[e\approx 2.71828182846.\]The Exponential Function
We now turn our attention to the function \({e}^{x}.\) Note that the natural logarithm is one-to-one and therefore has an inverse function. For now, we denote this inverse function by \(\text{exp}\ x.\) Then,
\[\text{exp}(\text{ln}\ x)=x\ \text{for}\ x>0\ \text{and}\ \text{ln}(\text{exp}\ x)=x\ \text{for all}\ x.\]The following figure shows the graphs of \(\text{exp}\ x\) and \(\text{ln}\ x.\)
We hypothesize that \(\text{exp}\ x={e}^{x}.\) For rational values of \(x,\) this is easy to show. If \(x\) is rational, then we have \(\text{ln}({e}^{x})=x\ \text{ln}\ e=x.\) Thus, when \(x\) is rational, \({e}^{x}=\text{exp}\ x.\) For irrational values of \(x,\) we simply define \({e}^{x}\) as the inverse function of \(\text{ln}\ x.\)
Then we have \({e}^{x}=\text{exp}(x)\) for all \(x,\) and thus
\[{e}^{\text{ln}\ x}=x\ \text{for}\ x>0\ \text{and}\ \text{ln}({e}^{x})=x\]for all \(x.\)
Properties of the Exponential Function
Since the exponential function was defined in terms of an inverse function, and not in terms of a power of \(e,\) we must verify that the usual laws of exponents hold for the function \({e}^{x}.\)
Note that if \(p\) and \(q\) are rational, the properties hold. However, if \(p\) or \(q\) are irrational, we must apply the inverse function definition of \({e}^{x}\) and verify the properties. Only the first property is verified here; the other two are left to you. We have
\[\text{ln}({e}^{p}{e}^{q})=\text{ln}({e}^{p})+\text{ln}({e}^{q})=p+q=\text{ln}({e}^{p+q}).\]Since \(\text{ln}\ x\) is one-to-one, then
\[{e}^{p}{e}^{q}={e}^{p+q}.\]□
As with part iv. of the logarithm properties, we can extend property iii. to irrational values of \(r,\) and we do so by the end of the section.
We also want to verify the differentiation formula for the function \(y={e}^{x}.\) To do this, we need to use implicit differentiation. Let \(y={e}^{x}.\) Then
\[\begin{array}{lll}\text{ln}\ y & = & x \\ \frac{d}{dx}\text{ln}\ y & = & \frac{d}{dx}x \\ \frac{1}{y}\ \frac{dy}{dx} & = & 1 \\ \frac{dy}{dx} & = & y.\end{array}\]Thus, we
\[\frac{d}{dx}{e}^{x}={e}^{x}\]as desired, which leads immediately to the integration formula
\[\int {e}^{x}dx={e}^{x}+C.\]We apply these formulas in the following examples.
Example
Try it.
Evaluate the following derivatives:
- \(\frac{d}{dt}{e}^{3t}{e}^{{t}^{2}}\)
- \(\frac{d}{dx}{e}^{3{x}^{2}}\)
Solution
We apply the chain rule as necessary.
- \(\frac{d}{dt}{e}^{3t}{e}^{{t}^{2}}=\frac{d}{dt}{e}^{3t+{t}^{2}}={e}^{3t+{t}^{2}}(3+2t)\)
- \(\frac{d}{dx}{e}^{3{x}^{2}}={e}^{3{x}^{2}}6x\)
Example
Try it.
Evaluate the following integral: \(\int 2x{e}^{\text{-}{x}^{2}}dx.\)
Solution
Using \(u\)-substitution, let \(u=\text{-}{x}^{2}.\) Then \(du=-2x\ dx,\) and we have
\[\int 2x{e}^{\text{-}{x}^{2}}dx=\text{-}\int {e}^{u}du=\text{-}{e}^{u}+C=\text{-}{e}^{\text{-}{x}^{2}}+C.\]General Logarithmic and Exponential Functions
We close this section by looking at exponential functions and logarithms with bases other than \(e.\) Exponential functions are functions of the form \(f(x)={a}^{x}.\) Note that unless \(a=e,\) we still do not have a mathematically rigorous definition of these functions for irrational exponents. Let’s rectify that here by defining the function \(f(x)={a}^{x}\) in terms of the exponential function \({e}^{x}.\) We then examine logarithms with bases other than \(e\) as inverse functions of exponential functions.
Now \({a}^{x}\) is defined rigorously for all values of x. This definition also allows us to generalize property iv. of logarithms and property iii. of exponential functions to apply to both rational and irrational values of \(r.\) It is straightforward to show that properties of exponents hold for general exponential functions defined in this way.
Let’s now apply this definition to calculate a differentiation formula for \({a}^{x}.\) We have
\[\frac{d}{dx}{a}^{x}=\frac{d}{dx}{e}^{x\ \text{ln}\ a}={e}^{x\ \text{ln}\ a}\text{ln}\ a={a}^{x}\text{ln}\ a.\]The corresponding integration formula follows immediately.
If \(a\ne 1,\) then the function \({a}^{x}\) is one-to-one and has a well-defined inverse. Its inverse is denoted by \({\text{log}}_{a}x.\) Then,
\[y={\text{log}}_{a}x\ \text{if and only if}\ x={a}^{y}.\]Note that general logarithm functions can be written in terms of the natural logarithm. Let \(y={\text{log}}_{a}x.\) Then, \(x={a}^{y}.\) Taking the natural logarithm of both sides of this second equation, we get
\[\begin{array}{lll}\text{ln}\ x & = & \text{ln}({a}^{y}) \\ \text{ln}\ x & = & y\ \text{ln}\ a \\ y & = & \frac{\text{ln}\ x}{\text{ln}\ a} \\ {\text{log}}_{a}x & = & \frac{\text{ln}\ x}{\text{ln}\ a}.\end{array}\]Thus, we see that all logarithmic functions are constant multiples of one another. Next, we use this formula to find a differentiation formula for a logarithm with base \(a.\) Again, let \(y={\text{log}}_{a}x.\) Then,
\[\begin{array}{ll}\frac{dy}{dx} & =\frac{d}{dx}({\text{log}}_{a}x) \\ & =\frac{d}{dx}(\frac{\text{ln}\ x}{\text{ln}\ a}) \\ & =(\frac{1}{\text{ln}\ a})\frac{d}{dx}(\text{ln}\ x) \\ & =\frac{1}{\text{ln}\ a}\cdot \frac{1}{x} \\ & =\frac{1}{x\ \text{ln}\ a}.\end{array}\]Condensed: the full section is in OpenStax Calculus Volume 2.

Sida loo: Integrals, Exponential Functions, and Logarithms
- Write the definition of the natural logarithm as an integral.
- Recognize the derivative of the natural logarithm.
- Integrate functions involving the natural logarithmic function.
- Define the number
- Recognize the derivative and integral of the exponential function.
- Prove properties of logarithms and exponential functions using integrals.
- Express general logarithmic and exponential functions in terms of natural logarithms and exponentials.
- The earlier treatment of logarithms and exponential functions did not define the functions precisely and formally. This section develops the concepts in a mathematically rigorous way.
Su'aalaha dadku waydiiyaan
What is a derivative in one sentence?
The slope of the graph at a point, the rate at which the output is changing there. Speed is the derivative of position.
What is an integral in one sentence?
The accumulated total of a rate: the area under the curve. Distance travelled is the integral of speed.
Why are derivatives and integrals opposites?
That is the fundamental theorem of calculus: accumulating a rate and then measuring how fast the accumulation grows gets you back the rate. Integration undoes differentiation up to a constant.
When do I use substitution and when integration by parts?
Substitution when part of the integrand is the derivative of another part (u and du both present). Parts when the integrand is a product of two unrelated kinds of function, a polynomial times an exponential, log or trig function.
