Question

Which of the following represents the graph of the function f(x) = log 5 x – 3 ?

Answer 1

Is it the second one?

Answer 2

Just to clarify, is it \(\large f(x)=log_5(x-3)\) ?

Answer 3

yes.

Answer 4

@CliffSedge I think it is.

Answer 5

Ok, you can probably determine it from finding the x- and y-intercepts.

Answer 6

When x=0, y is the log of a negative number, which isn't real, so there is no y-intercept.

Answer 7

When y=0, x-3=1, so the x-intercept is 4.

Answer 8

OK first, if\[f(x)=\log_{b}(x - c)\]then x = c is the equation of the vertical asymptote, and x > c.

Answer 9

There is only one graph from the four options, where what I said is true. Thus the information I provided is sufficient to answer this question @CharletteAnne
