Explaining Logarithmic Simplification to a Colleague

As a data analyst, you often work with models that compress large ranges of data using logarithms. A new team member is struggling to simplify the expression log3(x5)\log_3(x^5) for a database query and asks for your help. Based on your foundational math training, describe what the Power Property of Logarithms allows you to do with exponents, and state exactly what the expression log3(x5)\log_3(x^5) becomes when you apply this property.
