To solve this expression, we first simplify the logarithms using the properties of logarithms:
log5(2)−log5(4)log5 (2) - log5 (4)log5(2)−log5(4) / log5(16)−log5(0.5)log5 (16) - log5 (0.5)log5(16)−log5(0.5) = log5 2/42/42/4 / log5 16/0.516/0.516/0.5 = log5 1/21/21/2 / log5 323232
Next, we can simplify further by rewriting the numerator and denominator using the change of base formula:
= log1/21/21/2 / log323232 = log1/21/21/2 / log252^525 = log1/21/21/2 / 5log222 = -log222 / 5log222 = -1 / 5
Therefore, the final result is -1/5.
