Transformation of Logarithm Functions

f(x)=2ln(x+2)

Describe the transformation

• Vertical Stretch by 2, translation 2 units to the left

• Vertical Compression by 2, translation 2 units to the left

• Vertical Stretch by 2, translation 2 units to the right

• Vertical Compression by 2, translation 2 units to the right

f(x)=log₅(x+4) - 2

Describe the transformation

• translation 4 units to the right, 2 units down

• translation 4 units to the left, 2 units down

• translation 4 units to the up, 2 units right

• translation 4 units to the up, 2 units left

f(x)=log₅(x+4) - 2

Describe the asymptote

• Horizontal Asymptote x = -4

• Vertical Asymptote x = -4

• Horizontal Asymptote x = 4

• Vertical Asymptote x = 4

f(x)=log₅(x+4) - 2

Find the Domain and Range

• Domain: x ≥ -4

  Range: all real numbers

• Domain: all real numbers

  Range: y ≥ -4

• Domain: all real numbers

  Range: y > -4

• Domain: x > -4

  Range: all real numbers

Use y=log(x) as a parent function. To graph y=log(x-4)+7, the parent function should be translated vertically ​ (a)   (up or down) by ​ ​ (b)   units. The vertical asymptote should be shifted horizontally to the ​ (c)   (left or right) by ​ (d)   units.
