$3 \log_{(3)} (5)$

Step 1

Simplify $3 \log_{3} (5)$ by moving $3$ inside the logarithm.

$\log_{3} (5^{3})$

Step 2

Raise $5$ to the power of $3$ .

$\log_{3} (125)$

Step 3

Step 3.1

The change of base rule can be used if $a$ and $b$ are greater than $0$ and not equal to $1$ , and $x$ is greater than $0$ .

$\log_{a} (x) = \frac{\log_{b} (x)}{\log_{b} (a)}$

Step 3.2

Substitute in values for the variables in the change of base formula, using $b = 10$ .

$\frac{\log (125)}{\log (3)}$

Step 4

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Exact Form:

$\frac{\log (125)}{\log (3)}$

Decimal Form:

$4.39492056 \dots$
