The correct Answer is:
Let's solve the given logarithmic equations step by step. ### Part (i): Solve `log_(x) 625 = -4` 1. **Rewrite the logarithmic equation in exponential form**: \[ x^{-4} = 625 \] This is derived from the definition of logarithms, which states that if \( \log_b(a) = c \), then \( b^c = a \). 2. **Rewrite 625 as a power of 5**: \[ 625 = 5^4 \] Therefore, we can substitute this into our equation: \[ x^{-4} = 5^4 \] 3. **Set the bases equal**: Since the bases are equal, we can equate the exponents: \[ -4 = 4 \log_{5}(x) \] 4. **Solve for \( x \)**: Rearranging gives: \[ \log_{5}(x) = -1 \] Now, converting back to exponential form: \[ x = 5^{-1} = \frac{1}{5} \] Thus, the solution for part (i) is: \[ \boxed{\frac{1}{5}} \]
