Evaluate log base 13 of 13

Problem

(log_13)(13)

Solution

1. Identify the base and the argument of the logarithmic expression. The base is 13 and the argument is 13

2. Apply the property of logarithms which states that (log_b)(b)=1 for any positive base b≠1

3. Conclude that since the base and the argument are identical, the exponent to which 13 must be raised to obtain 13 is 1

Final Answer

(log_13)(13)=1
