Answer

3log⁡533 \log_5 3

Step-by-step solution

3 steps

We will solve the expression log⁡5272log⁡552\frac{\log_5 27^2}{\log_5 5^2}.

  1. Simplify the numerator using the logarithm property log⁡bMk=klog⁡bM\log_b M^k = k \log_b M.

    log⁡5272=2log⁡527\log_5 27^2 = 2 \log_5 27

    Since 27=3327 = 3^3, substitute this into the expression:

    2log⁡5332 \log_5 3^3

    Apply the logarithm property again:

    2×3log⁡53=6log⁡532 \times 3 \log_5 3 = 6 \log_5 3
  2. Simplify the denominator using the logarithm property log⁡bMk=klog⁡bM\log_b M^k = k \log_b M and log⁡bb=1\log_b b = 1.

    log⁡552=2log⁡55\log_5 5^2 = 2 \log_5 5

    Since log⁡55=1\log_5 5 = 1:

    2×1=22 \times 1 = 2
  3. Divide the simplified numerator by the simplified denominator.

    6log⁡532\frac{6 \log_5 3}{2} 3log⁡533 \log_5 3
