Evaluate log base 2 of 2

Problem

(log_2)(2)

Solution

1. Identify the base and the argument of the logarithmic expression.

2. Apply the identity (log_b)(b)=1 which states that the logarithm of a number where the base is equal to the argument is always 1.

3. Verify the result by converting the logarithm to exponential form, 2=2 which is a true statement.

Final Answer

(log_2)(2)=1
