Identify Logarithm Base: We know that log100 is the same as log10100 because the base of a logarithm, if not specified, is assumed to be 10. We need to find the power to which 10 must be raised to get 100.
Express 100 as 102:100 can be expressed as 10 squared, or 102. This is because 10 multiplied by itself once is 100.
Apply Logarithmic Property: Using the property of logarithms that logb(bx)=x, we can say that log10(102)=2.
Calculate log100: Therefore, the value of log100 is 2.
