Full solution

Q. Use properties of logarithms to evaluate the expression. log55+log525\log_5 5 + \log_5 25
  1. Sum of logs: Sum of logs: log55+log525\log_5 5 + \log_5 25\newline Use product property: logbP+logbQ=logb(PQ)\log_b P + \log_b Q = \log_b (PQ)
  2. Apply product property: Apply product property: log55+log525=log5(525)\log_5 5 + \log_5 25 = \log_5 (5 \cdot 25)
  3. Simplify inside log: \newline log5(525)=log5125 \log_5 (5 \cdot 25) = \log_5 125
  4. Express 125125 as power: \newline125=53125 = 5^3\newline So, log5125=log5(53)\log_5 125 =\log_5 (5^3)
  5. Use power property:\newlinelogb(PQ)=QlogbP \log_b (P^Q) = Q \cdot \log_b P \newline So, log5(53)=3log55 \log_5 (5^3) = 3 \cdot \log_5 5
  6. Evaluate: Evaluate: 3×log553 \times\log_5 5\newline Since, log55=1\log_5 5 = 1.\newline 3×log55=33 \times\log_5 5 = 3
