Problem
What is the value of ![\[\log_37\cdot\log_59\cdot\log_711\cdot\log_913\cdots\log_{21}25\cdot\log_{23}27?\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/1/0/8/108141fcccb63d051a626897ded91e10882ab0db.png)
Solution 1
From the Change of Base Formula, we have ![\[\frac{\prod_{i=3}^{13} \log (2i+1)}{\prod_{i=1}^{11}\log (2i+1)} = \frac{\log 25 \cdot \log 27}{\log 3 \cdot \log 5} = \frac{(2\log 5)\cdot(3\log 3)}{\log 3 \cdot \log 5} = \boxed{\textbf{(C) } 6}.\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/3/d/0/3d0aba10cc169dfcc3b353ffe370b5a527574723.png)
Solution 2
Using the chain rule of logarithms 
we get
