Algebra Difficulty 2.1 Junior Find the answer

What is the value of (625log52015)14(625^{\log_5 2015})^{\frac{1}{4}} ?

Pick one

Solution

(625log52015)14=((54)log52015)14=(54log52015)14=(5log520154)14=((5log52015)4)14=(20154)14=(D)  2015(625^{\log_5 2015})^\frac{1}{4} = ((5^4)^{\log_5 2015})^\frac{1}{4} = (5^{4 \cdot \log_5 2015})^\frac{1}{4} = (5^{\log_5 2015 \cdot 4})^\frac{1}{4} = ((5^{\log_5 2015})^4)^\frac{1}{4} = (2015^4)^\frac{1}{4} = \boxed{\textbf{(D)}\; 2015}
