Let's evaluate each expression to determine which ones are equal to 3:

  1. Natural log of e cubed (ln(e³)):

    • Using the property of logarithms, ln(e^x) = x, we have ln(e³) = 3.
    • So this is equal to 3.
  2. ln(3):

    • This is just the natural logarithm of 3. It is not equal to 3.
  3. log₅(15):

    • We need to determine if 5^3 = 15.
    • 5^3 = 125, not 15. So log₅(15) is not equal to 3.
  4. log₄(64):

    • We find if 4^3 = 64.
    • 4^3 = 64, so log₄(64) = 3. Therefore, this is equal to 3.
  5. log(1,000) (base 10):

    • We check if 10^3 = 1,000.
    • 10^3 = 1,000, so log(1,000) = 3. This is equal to 3.
  6. log(300) (base 10):

    • We check if 10^3 = 300.
    • 10^3 = 1,000, not 300. Therefore, log(300) is not equal to 3.

Conclusion:

The expressions that are equal to 3 are:

  • Natural log of e cubed (ln(e³))
  • log₄(64)
  • log(1,000)
