Logarithmic Functions

Find the value of logaax. {Suggestion: Let y = logaax. Find the value of y
by rewriting this logarithmic equation in exponential form and then finding y.}

Show work. In order to avoid the confusion of x and a in the definition
with the x and a in the statement, we will use x',a'and y' in
the definition of the logarithm. Write out the definition of the
logarithm of x' with a base of a'.
