What is the value of log10(100)?

To find the value of log10(100), we start by recalling what logarithms represent. The expression log10(x) asks the question: "To what power must 10 be raised to obtain x?"

In this case, we have log10(100). We need to determine the exponent that tells us what power of 10 equals 100. Since 100 can be expressed as 10 raised to the power of 2 (because 10^2 = 100), this gives us:

log10(100) = 2.

Therefore, the correct answer is 2. This reflects the fundamental property of logarithms connecting the base of the logarithm (which is 10 here) and the result of raising that base to an exponent, which in this instance leads us directly to the value of the logarithm.
