Step 1: Recall the definition of the natural logarithm (ln). The natural logarithm of a number is the power to which e (Euler's number) must be raised to obtain that number. For example, ln(e) = 1 because e^1 = e.
Step 2: Evaluate ln(e). Since e^1 = e, the natural logarithm of e is 1. Therefore, ln(e) = 1.
Step 3: Evaluate ln(e^{2x}). Using the logarithmic property ln(a^b) = b * ln(a), we can rewrite ln(e^{2x}) as 2x * ln(e). Since ln(e) = 1, this simplifies to 2x.
Step 4: Evaluate ln(1). Recall that the natural logarithm of 1 is always 0 because e^0 = 1. Therefore, ln(1) = 0.
Step 5: Combine the results. The correct values for ln(e), ln(e^{2x}), and ln(1) are 1, 2x, and 0, respectively.
