The value of log_a(log_a (a)) is what?

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

first calculate the inner most function, what is:\[\log_a(a)=?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when i try to give a number "a" and solve i get 1, is that right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\log_a(a)=\frac{ \log a }{ \log a }\]

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

if:\[\log_a(a)=x\implies a=a^x\]therefore what must x=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

correct, therefore:\[\log_a(\log_a(a))=\log_a(1)=?\]

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

remember:\[\log_b(a)=x\implies a=b^x\]

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

i.e. if\[\log_a(1)=x\]then:\[1=a^x\]therefore x=?
