I think whoever put ln(i) have some more thought than those who used calculators or memorized to put 0 as answer. Cause
e^(i*pi) = -1
ln( e^(i*pi) ) = ln(-1)
=> ln(-1) = ln(abs(-1)) + i * angle(-1) = ln(1) + i * pi = i * pi
so I think their distinct memory of this formula make them think ln(i). Amazing

That was EASY (on a ti84+se)!!!
I just typed it into my calculator and here's the answer.
I don't know what any of those weird letters mean, but they're on my calculator, so I guess it's just that easy.
Hopefully I'll learn what they mean next year.

??? It shouldn't exist because you end up getting ln -1 = pi*i, which doesn't exist because logarithms aren't defined for negative numbers
