Problem
What is the value of![\[\left(\sum_{k=1}^{20} \log_{5^k} 3^{k^2}\right)\cdot\left(\sum_{k=1}^{100} \log_{9^k} 25^k\right)?\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/9/9/3/9934e0771c30ad96de59aa26766c6befd3570ccd.png)
Solution
This equals
![\[\left(\sum_{k=1}^{20}k\log_5(3)\right)\left(\sum_{k=1}^{100}\log_9(25)\right)=\frac{20\cdot21}{2}\cdot\log_5(3)\cdot100\log_3(5)=\boxed{\textbf{(E)} 21000}\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/1/e/e/1ee3550086ed338d704398aad18c9252b730baea.png)
