9. Find the asymptotic of the logarithmic function z(x) = -log x +7. Then describe how the graph is transformed from the graph of its parent function, log x. Do not graph

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

are you acquainted with the graph of log(x)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think so idk i am sorry!

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

add the - in front of it, press Tab key then append the +7, press Tab see what happens?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what tab key?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

tab ahemmm as in Tab on the keyboard, above the CapsLock key

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do i put the numbers in at the bottom

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmm... ? w0t?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

there's a box there with the function written in, add there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i did

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now what?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

so... do you see what happened? how the parent function shift it? \( \textit{parent function }log(x)\\ \quad \\ \begin{array}{rllll} -log x &+7\\ \uparrow &\uparrow \\ \textit{flips it upside down}&\textit{vertical shift by 7 units up} \end{array}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok!(:

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmm well the - flips it....so... \(\begin{array}{rrllll} &-log x &+7\\ &\uparrow &\uparrow \\ &\textit{flips it upside down}&\textit{vertical shift by 7 units up} \end{array}\)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

woops darn... anyhow the - turns the parent function upside down

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o ok i am sorry i just dont get all of this stuff!

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

a transformation is just the "original" graph, moved about from the "original" position

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok!
