Answer

False. A true statement: $\ln e^{e}=e $

Work Step by Step

Logarithms are defined for positive numbers only (not 0). The LHS is undefined, so the statement is false. The LHS can be changed to equal e using a basic property, $\log_{b}b^{x}=x $. $\ln x $ means $\log_{e}x $, so we substitute both b and x with e to obtain $\ln e^{e}=e $
