Solution

To express log6(3625)\log_6(36 \cdot 25) as a sum of logarithms, we can apply the logarithmic property for products:

logb(MN)=logb(M)+logb(N)\log_b(M \cdot N) = \log_b(M) + \log_b(N)

In this case: log6(3625)=log6(36)+log6(25)\log_6(36 \cdot 25) = \log_6(36) + \log_6(25)

So, the answer is:

log6(36)+log6(25)\log_6(36) + \log_6(25)
