x=log(5)1/25 solve?

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

1/25 = 5^-2 log(5) 5^-2 = -2

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

\[\log_{b} b^{n} = n\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could you go into more detail cuz i have alot more of these i dont get wht u put

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

b is the base, log base 10 or log base 5 if that base is the same as the number then they cancel each other log 10 = 1 log 10^3 = 3 so log 100 = log 10^2 = 2 you have to sometimes convert the number to exponent form so it matches the base of the log
