Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. We are given the logarithmic expression log91\log_{9} 1.
2. We need to evaluate this expression.

STEP 2

1. Recall the definition of a logarithm.
2. Apply the definition to the given expression.
3. Determine the value of the expression.

STEP 3

Recall the definition of a logarithm: logba=c\log_{b} a = c means that bc=ab^c = a.

STEP 4

Apply the definition to the given expression log91\log_{9} 1.
We need to find the value of cc such that 9c=19^c = 1.

STEP 5

Determine the value of cc.
Since any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 is 1, we have:
90=1 9^0 = 1
Thus, c=0c = 0.
The value of log91\log_{9} 1 is:
0 \boxed{0}
