What is the general form of a logarithmic function?

Back

The general form is \( y = \log_b(x - h) + k \), where \( (h, k) \) is the translation of the graph.

What happens to the graph of \( y = \log(x) \) when you add 4?

Back

The graph shifts up by 4 units, resulting in \( y = \log(x) + 4 \).

Front

What is the range of the function \( f(x) = \log_2 x \)?

Back

The range is \( (-\infty, \infty) \).

Front

What does the base of a logarithm indicate?

Back

The base indicates the number that is raised to a power to obtain a given value.

Front

How do you find the x-intercept of a logarithmic function?

Back

Set the function equal to zero and solve for x.
