Using the logarithmic

function to find the points


on the line is based on two
rules, x cannot be negative
or equal to zero, therefore,
use only positive values
Example
If the function to giaph is:
y = !"#
!
!!!
Then the exponential
foim is:
! ! !
!

Possible values can be
determined using a table.
Make sure to also use
values for x that are
between 1 and 0.

** The graph will not
touch the y-axis

Graph of f(x) = !
!


Graph of f(x) =
!
!
!




Transforming the graph of a
logarithmic function is similar to
transforming function graphs
Example
The equation foi tiansfoimations is:
! ! ! ! ! !
! !!!
! !
4 variables control
the shift, stretch or
compression
a, c, h, k
!: stietches the function veitically by a "!#$%& %" (!(
#: stietches the function hoiizontally by a "!#$%& %" (
!
!
(
): *)+"$* the giaph )%&+,%-$!../
0: *)+"$* the giaph 12&$+#!../
If !34 the giaph is &2".2#$25 acioss the 67!6+*
If 839 the giaph is &2".2#$25 acioss the /7!6+*

1. Rewiite the function by taking out a factoi
of two in the exponent fiist: !
!!!!!!
! !
2. :25 ;+-2: giaph of f(x) = !
!

S. <.=2 ;+-2: k = 2, shifts the giaph up two
units
4. >&22- ;+-2: c = 2, change to |
!
!
| = V,
stietchs giaph by V anu becomes steepei
S. <.!#0 ;+-2: h = 1, shifts giaph one unit to
the iight

Domain and
Range
Bomain is always ?;; :@?; ABC<@:D: B = {All Real Numbeis}
Range uepenus on the veitical shift of the function:
f(x) = !
!

The asymptote is y = u, theiefoie the iange is:

R: {y > u}

f(x) = !
!
! !
The asymptote of the oiiginal functions is y =
u, it will shift up two, theiefoie:

R: {y > 2}

If the E&!F) +* &2".2#$25, the iange will
ieflect a *G+$#) +- $)2 +-2H=!.+$/ *+E-
f(x) = !

f(x) = !!

f(x) = !

f(x) = !!
