log 75 base 5 + log 3 base 5 is equal to what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the question like this? \[\log_{5}75 + \log_{5}3 \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can write follows \[\log_{5}75+\log_{5}3= \log_{5}225 \] remember that logarithm law of addition where \[\log_{a}B + \log_{a}C = \log_{a} (B*C)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and what would happen if it was log 75 base 5 - log 3 base 5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then \[\log_{a}B -\log_{a}C = \log_{a}(B/C) \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i get it now. thanks
