Find logarithm value: We need to find the value of log525. The logarithm logba answers the question: "To what power must the base b be raised, to produce the number a?"
Rewrite expression using property: Since 25 is a perfect square and can be expressed as 52, we can rewrite the expression using the property of logarithms that states logb(bx)=x.
Substitute in expression: Substitute 252525 with 555^222 in the logarithmic expression: \log_{555}(555^222).
Apply logarithm property: Apply the logarithm property to simplify the expression: log5(52)=2\log_{5}(5^2) = 2log5(52)=2.
Final logarithm value: We have found the value of the logarithm: log525=2\log_{5}25 = 2log525=2.
