logarithmic expressions without using a calculator.
- $\log _ { 5 } \left( \frac { 125 } { \sqrt { x - 1 } } \right)$

• A) \(3 \log _ { 5 } 5 - \frac { 1 } { 2 } \log _ { 5 } ( x - 1 )\)
• B) \(3 - \log _ { 5 } \sqrt { x - 1 }\)
• C) \(3 - \frac { 1 } { 2 } \log _ { 5 } ( x - 1 )\)
• D) \(\log _ { 5 } 125 - \log _ { 5 } \sqrt { x - 1 }\)
