Answer:


\log_5(125) =3

Explanation:

Question:

To evaluate
\log 125 to the base 5

Solution:

We will apply log properties to evaluate.

We will use the following property of logarithms

If
\log _ab=x

Then,
a^x=b

Let
\log_5(125) =x

So, we have


5^x=125

We can write
125=5* 5* 5=5^3


5^x=5^3


x=3

Thus, we have


\log_5(125) =3
