Question

What is the first step in proving that 10log100=100
?(1 point)

Cancel out the exponential base 10 and the logarithm.

Determine what log100
is equal to.

Solve the equation 10x=100
.

Divide both sides of the equation by 10.

Answer 1

"Determine what log100 is equal to."

Reason: log (base 10) of 100 = 2, so 10^{log100} = 10^2 = 100. The other choices are not the appropriate first step.
