Math Problem Statement
(log(125))/(log(sqrt(5)))
Solution
To simplify , let's break it down step by step:
-
Express the numbers in terms of powers of 5:
-
Apply logarithmic properties: Using the power rule of logarithms, , we can simplify both the numerator and the denominator.
-
Substitute these values back into the original expression:
-
Simplify: Cancel out from the numerator and the denominator:
Thus, the simplified value is:
