is equal to.

Answer 1

The first step in proving that \( 10^{\log 100} = 100 \) is:

**Determine what \( \log 100 \) is equal to.**

This is crucial because knowing the value of \( \log 100 \) allows us to simplify the expression further.

Thus, the correct response is:

**Determine what \( \log 100 \) is equal to.**
