Q. Express the given expression as an integer or as a fraction in simplest form.\newlinelog2(125) \log _{2}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt[5]{2}}\right) \newlineAnswer:
  1. Apply Log Property: Apply the property of logarithms that allows the exponent on the argument of the log to be brought out as a coefficient. \newlinelog2(125)=log2(215)\log_2\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt[5]{2}}\right) = \log_2\left(2^{-\frac{1}{5}}\right)
  2. Use Log Property: Use the property of logarithms that states logb(bx)=x\log_b(b^x) = x, where bb is the base of the logarithm and xx is the exponent.\newlinelog2(21/5)=15\log_2(2^{-1/5}) = -\frac{1}{5}
  3. Simplify Logarithm: Since the base of the logarithm and the base of the exponent are the same 22, the logarithm simplifies directly to the exponent.\newlineThe final answer is 15\frac{-1}{5}.
