Q. log(5x5)5+log(x1)2125>2 \log _{(5 x-5)} 5+\log (x-1)^{2} 125>2
  1. Simplify Logarithmic Expressions: Simplify the logarithmic expressions.\newlineWe have the inequality log(5x5)5+log(x1)2125>2\log_{(5x-5)}5 + \log_{(x-1)^{2}}125 > 2. We can simplify the logarithmic expressions using the property logb(b)=1\log_b(b) = 1 and logb(bk)=k\log_b(b^k) = k.\newlineFor the first term, log(5x5)5\log_{(5x-5)}5, since the base (5x5)(5x-5) and the argument (5)(5) are not the same, we cannot simplify this term directly.\newlineFor the second term, log(x1)2125\log_{(x-1)^{2}}125, we can write 125125 as 535^3 and use the property of logarithms to bring the exponent out front: log(x1)253=3log(x1)25\log_{(x-1)^{2}}5^3 = 3 \cdot \log_{(x-1)^{2}}5.\newlineSince the base logb(b)=1\log_b(b) = 100 and the argument logb(b)=1\log_b(b) = 111 are not the same, we cannot simplify this term directly either.
  2. Combine Logarithmic Terms: Apply the properties of logarithms to combine the terms.\newlineWe can use the property of logarithms that states logb(m)+logb(n)=logb(mn)\log_b(m) + \log_b(n) = \log_b(m*n) to combine the two terms into a single logarithmic expression.\newlineCombine the terms: log(5x5)5+3×log(x1)25=log(5x5)5+log(x1)253=log(5x5)5+log(x1)2125\log_{(5x-5)}5 + 3 \times \log_{(x-1)^2}5 = \log_{(5x-5)}5 + \log_{(x-1)^2}5^3 = \log_{(5x-5)}5 + \log_{(x-1)^2}125.\newlineSince the bases are different, we cannot combine these terms using the logarithm properties. Therefore, we cannot simplify the inequality further at this point.
