Evaluate the expression. If necessary, round to the nearest hundredth. ln 4.4

Ln 4.4 is "the natural logarithm of 4.4"

While it's possible to approximate the value of this log (using a series representation for the ln function), the more usual approach at this course level is to look up or calculate the value.

On my TI-83 Plus calculator, I entered "ln 4.4" and obtained the result 1.48. This is approximate.
