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

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

This involves recognizing that the logarithm will help simplify the expression. Since \( 100 = 10^2 \), you can find that \(\log 100 = 2\), which leads you to see that \( 10^{\log 100} = 10^2 = 100 \).
