\( x = 4 \), choice c.)
Solución
Recall that the logarithmic equation log₅(625) = x means that 5ˣ = 625. Let's determine which power of 5 gives 625:
• 5¹ = 5
• 5² = 25
• 5³ = 125
• 5⁴ = 625
Since 5⁴ = 625, it follows that x = 4.
Therefore, the correct answer is option c.) x = 4.

Extra Insights
To solve the logarithmic equation \( \log_{5}(625) = x \), we need to express 625 as a power of 5. Since \( 625 = 5^4 \), we can rewrite the equation as: \[ \log_{5}(5^4) = x \] Using the property of logarithms that states \( \log_{b}(b^a) = a \), we find: \[ x = 4 \] So the answer is \( \text{c.) } x=4 \).
