Step 1.1

The change of base rule can be used if $a$ and $b$ are greater than $0$ and not equal to $1$ , and $x$ is greater than $0$ .

$\log_{a} (x) = \frac{\log_{b} (x)}{\log_{b} (a)} \log_{0.2} (49)$

Step 1.2

Substitute in values for the variables in the change of base formula, using $b = 10$ .

$\frac{\log (25)}{\log (7)} \log_{0.2} (49)$

Step 2.1

The change of base rule can be used if $a$ and $b$ are greater than $0$ and not equal to $1$ , and $x$ is greater than $0$ .

$\frac{\log (25)}{\log (7)} \log_{a} (x) = \frac{\log_{b} (x)}{\log_{b} (a)}$

Step 2.2

Substitute in values for the variables in the change of base formula, using $b = 10$ .

$\frac{\log (25)}{\log (7)} \cdot \frac{\log (49)}{\log (0.2)}$

Step 3

Log base $10$ of $0.2$ is approximately $- 0.69897$ .

$\frac{\log (25)}{\log (7)} \cdot \frac{\log (49)}{- 0.69897}$

Step 4

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$\frac{\log (25)}{\log (7)} (- \frac{\log (49)}{0.69897})$

Step 5

Log base $10$ of $49$ is approximately $1.69019608$ .

$\frac{\log (25)}{\log (7)} (- \frac{1.69019608}{0.69897})$

Step 6

Divide $1.69019608$ by $0.69897$ .

$\frac{\log (25)}{\log (7)} (- 1 \cdot 2.41812391)$

Step 7

Multiply $- 1$ by $2.41812391$ .

$\frac{\log (25)}{\log (7)} \cdot - 2.41812391$
