Question

logarithms help for a medal.

Answer 1

what the question

Answer 2

Describe how the graph of \[y=\log _{3}(x-4)+2\] compares to the parent function. Discuss changes in asyntotes, domain, and range.

Answer 3

if you can't tell, that's log base 3

Answer 4

What is the parent function?

Answer 5

it doesn't say

Answer 6

@Schrodingers_Cat do you know logs well?

Answer 7

I thought I knew logs fairly well.

Answer 8

well how can we find out the parent funtion?

Answer 9

I have no idea.

Answer 10

so....

Answer 11

i would assume it's just y = log base 3 (x)

Answer 12

When they say parent function they mean the standard log function which is log x!

Answer 13

so @Isaiah.Feynman how does it compare in terms of asyntotes, domain, and range?

Answer 14

I'm seeing if I can graph that function.
If x = 81 then x-4 = 77
log3 (77) = 3.9539020878
Then adding +2 is 5.9539020878

Answer 15

i graphed the parent function as well as
