Properties of Logarithms

The properties of logarithms are mathematical rules that apply to logarithmic functions, including product, quotient, and power rules.

Logarithm

The power to which a base, such as 10, must be raised to produce a given number. Expressed as \(log_{base}(number) = exponent\).

  • Assess elementary and prevalent logarithms, including the application of logarithmic properties.
  • Utilize the characteristics of logarithms to simplify or assess expressions.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
log⁡575−log⁡53=log⁡5753=log⁡525=log⁡552=2log⁡55=2(since log⁡55=1)\begin{align*}\log_5 75 - \log_5 3 &= \log_5 \frac{75}{3}\\&=\log_5 25\\&=\log_5 5^2\\&=2 \log_5 5\\&= 2 \quad \text{(since } \log_5 5 = 1 \text{)}\\\end{align*}log575log53=log5375=log525=log552=2log55=2(since log55=1)
