Answer

$\log{\left(\frac{5}{2^k}\right)}$

Work Step by Step

Recall the power property of logarithms (pg. 462): $\log_b{m^n}=n\log_b{m}$ Thus we have: $\log 5-k\log 2=\log 5-\log 2^k$ Next, recall the quotient property of logarithms (pg. 462): $\log_b{\frac{m}{n}}=\log_b{m}-\log_b{n}$ Applying this to our last equation, we get: $\log 5-\log 2^k=\log{\frac{5}{2^k}}$
