PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! Simply this expression log (base 5) 125 + 3^log(base5)125 + 3 log(base 1/5)5

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

hint: \[\huge \log_5 (125) \implies \log_5 (5^3) \implies 3\] \[\huge \log_{\frac 15} (5) \implies \log_{(5^{-1})} (5^{-1})^{-1} \implies -1\] does that help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the answer 29?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

that's what im getting too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thank you!

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

...wait i misread your answer..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you mean?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

\[\Large \log_5 125 + 3^{\log_5 125} + 3 \log_{\frac 15} 5\] using the ones i said this will give you \[\large 3 + 3^3 + 3(-1)\] do yoou see it now?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

the answer shouldnt be 29

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh we forgot about that 3 so it would 32?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

you forgot about the -1

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

btw... 3(-1) means 3 TIMES -1 NOT 3 minus 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thank you!
