log(1)=0

Explanation:

A logarithm is used solve for the exponent of a base that results in a certain value.

Given:

a^x=y

then,

log_a(y)=x

For a generic 'log' function, it is assumed to be base 10. So, we have the following:

log(1) is like saying 10^x=1

For any base, including 10, raised to the power 0, the result is 1. Therefore, log(1)=0
