$\\ln(x)$ is the natural logarithm of $x$, or the log of $x$ base $e$. This is equivalent to $\\log_e(x)$ but $\\ln(x)$ is normally preferred, in fact, for this question it is required.
\n
$\\log_{\\var{base1}}(\\var{arg1})$ can be written in terms of natural logarithms as [[0]].
Note: The natural log is denoted by ln, that is, an L (in lower case) followed by an n, the first letter is not a capital i. To enter your answer ensure you use the correct letters and use brackets.
