Question 1 Report

Evaluate \( \dfrac{2\log_{3} 9 \times \log_{3} 81^{-2}}{\log_{5} 625} \)

Answer Details
We can simplify the expression using the properties of logarithms. First, we can rewrite the expression as: 2log3(3^2) * log3(3^4) - 2log5(5^4) Using the power rule of logarithms, we can simplify the first term: 2log3(3^2) * log3(3^4) = 2(2) * 4 = 16 Using the power rule of logarithms again, we can simplify the second term: 2log5(5^4) = 8log5(5) = 8 Substituting these simplified terms back into the original expression, we get: 16 - 8 = 8 Therefore, the value of the expression is 8, which is option (C) in the given choices.
