Finding the Logarithm Value: We need to find the value of log31. The logarithm of a number is the exponent to which the base must be raised to produce that number. In this case, we are looking for the power to which 3 must be raised to get 1.
Property of Logarithms: Recall the property of logarithms that states logb(1)=0 for any base b. This is because any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 is 1.
Applying the Property: Applying this property to our problem, we have log31=0 because 3 raised to the power of 0 is indeed 1.
