If you got the answer, just write down how you got it.  That is the answer to part 2.

I don't know how to get it. The other guy gave it to me @phi

phi · Answer

do you know $ \sqrt{5}= 5^{\frac{1}{2}} $.  They mean the same thing.
do you know 25= 5*5  or 5^2

The first thing you should do is rewrite the equation using 5^power instead of 25 and sqrt(5)
