Answer

Final Answer: \(2 \log _{5} 3-\log _{5} 45= \boxed{-1.0}\) and \(\ln e^{9}+\ln e^{5}= \boxed{14.0}\)

Steps

Step 1 :Use the properties of logarithms to evaluate each of the following expressions.

Step 2 :For the first question, we can use the properties of logarithms to simplify the expression. The properties we will use are: \(a \log_b c = \log_b c^a\) and \(\log_b a - \log_b c = \log_b \frac{a}{c}\)

Step 3 :For the second question, we can use the property of natural logarithms that \(\ln e^a = a\)

Step 4 :Calculate the value of the first expression: \(2 \log _{5} 3-\log _{5} 45\)

Step 5 :The result of the first expression is \(-1.0\)

Step 6 :Calculate the value of the second expression: \(\ln e^{9}+\ln e^{5}\)

Step 7 :The result of the second expression is \(14.0\)

Step 8 :Final Answer: \(2 \log _{5} 3-\log _{5} 45= \boxed{-1.0}\) and \(\ln e^{9}+\ln e^{5}= \boxed{14.0}\)
