Apply product rule of logarithms: Apply the product rule of logarithms to combine log2(5) and log2(2). The product rule of logarithms states that loga(b)+loga(c)=loga(b∗c). Therefore, log2(5)+log2(2)=log2(5∗2).
Calculate product inside logarithm: Calculate the product inside the logarithm.The product of 5 and 2 is 10.So, log2(5)+log2(2)=log2(10).
Evaluate log2(10): Evaluate log2(10) if possible.Since 10 is not a power of 2, we cannot simplify log2(10) to an integer.Therefore, the final answer is log2(10).
