Definition
A natural log term refers to a logarithmic expression with base "e", where "e" is Euler's number (approximately 2.71828). It commonly appears in integrals involving certain functions such as exponentials or growth/decay rates.
An exponential function describes quantities that grow or decay at an exponential rate, often involving base "e".
Logarithmic Differentiation: Logarithmic differentiation is a technique used to simplify taking derivatives or integrals by applying properties of logarithms.
Integration by Substitution: Integration by substitution is a method used to simplify complex integrals by replacing variables with new ones that make integration easier.
