Determine if True log base 5 of 125=3
Problem
Solution
Identify the logarithmic equation to be evaluated, which is
(log_5)(125)=3 Rewrite the logarithmic equation in its equivalent exponential form using the definition
(log_b)(x)=y⇔b^y=x Substitute the values from the given equation into the exponential form:
5^3=125 Calculate the value of the exponential expression
5^3 by multiplying5×5×5 Compare the result of the calculation to the value in the equation:
$125 = 125$.
