Answer

$5$

Work Step by Step

Using $\log_bx^m=m\log_bx$ or the Power Rule of Logarithms, the given expression, $ \log_{6}6^5 ,$ is equivalent to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} 5\log_{6}6 .\end{array} Since $\log_bb=1,$ the expression, $ \log_{6}6 ,$ simplifies to $1$. \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} 5(1) \\\\= 5 .\end{array}
