If log 5= x, prove that log 125 = 3x/(2(1-x))
——————————————————————————
+log%28b%2C%285%29%29+=+x+ —> +log%28b%2C%28125%29%29+=+log%28b%2C%285%5E3%29%29+=+3log%28b%2C%285%29%29+=+3x+

If one is to prove log(125) = 3x/(2(1-x)) then it can only hold for some specific base b, which must be provided by you the student. Certainly +b+%3C%3E+5+ as that causes division by zero.
