Answer 1

To determine which logarithmic expression is undefined, we need to consider the properties of logarithms:

1. The logarithm of a positive number is defined.
2. The logarithm of zero or a negative number is undefined.

Now let's analyze each of the given expressions:

1. log₂(6.25): This is defined because 6.25 is positive.
2. log₃(27): This is defined because 27 is positive.
3. log₃(-9): This is undefined because -9 is negative.
4. log₀(256): This is undefined because 0 is not a valid base for logarithm.

The logarithmic expression that is undefined is log₃(-9).
