We'll use the follwowing property, which comes from the definition of a logarithm:


\log _ab=c\Leftrightarrow a^c=b

i.e, The logarithm with base a of b is c if, and only if a to the c power equals b.

Using this to translate


\log _5((1)/(25))=-2

Into exponential form, will yield:


5^(-2)

Because:


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

ANSWER:


5^(-2)
