Explanation

(a) \((\frac{4}{25})^{-\frac{1}{2}} \times 2^{4} \div (\frac{15}{2})^{-2}\)

= \((\frac{25}{4})^{\frac{1}{2}} \times 2^{4} \div (\frac{2}{15})^{2}\)

= \(\frac{5}{2} \times 16 \times \frac{225}{4} = 2250\)

(b) \(\log_{5} (\frac{3}{5}) + 3\log_{5} (\frac{15}{2}) - \log_{5} (\frac{81}{8})\)

= \(\log_{5} 3 - \log_{5} 5 + 3\log_{5} 15 - 3\log_{5} 2 - \log_{5} 81 + \log_{5} 8\)

= \(\log_{5} 3 - \log_{5} 5 + 3\log_{5} (3 \times 5) - 3\log_{5} 2 - \log_{5} 3^{4} + \log_{5} 2^{3}\)

= \(\log_{5} 3 - \log_{5} 5 + 3\log_{5} 3 + 3\log_{5} 5 - 3\log_{5} 2 - 4\log_{5} 3 + 3\log_{5} 2\)

= \(2\log_{5} 5 \)

= \(2\)
