Define Logarithm: Identify the definition of a logarithm.The logarithm of a number is the exponent to which the base must be raised to produce that number.
Apply Definition: Apply the definition of a logarithm to the problem.Since we are looking for log101, we need to find the power to which 10 must be raised to get 1.
Recall Property: Recall the property of any non-zero number raised to the power of 0. Any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 is 1. Therefore, 100=1.
Conclude Value: Conclude the value of the logarithm.Since 100=1, log101=0.
