Answer

$ln 0$ is undefined.

Work Step by Step

As we get closer to $ln 0$, the resulting value decreases toward negative infinity. $e^y =x$ As we decrease $x$ closer to $0$, the value for $y$ gets closer to negative infinity. This happens since an ever decreasing number is needed for $y$ when $x$ gets closer to zero.
