Final answer:
The logarithmic expression log₉ 9 + log₉ 2 simplifies to 1 + log₉ 2 because log₉ 9 is equal to 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
The original logarithmic expression given is log₉ 9 + log₉ 2. First, recognize that log₉ 9 is simply 1 because 9 is the base of the logarithm and it is raised to the power 1 to get 9. Now, the expression simplifies to 1 + log₉ 2, which cannot be simplified further because log₉ 2 is an irrational number unless given a specific value for comparison. The final answer is 1 + log₉ 2. There are no fractions to simplify in this problem.
