What effect does the "h" value have on the function f(x) = log(x)?

Question

anonymous · Answer

"h" value moves the graph left or right. 

The "h" value moves the graph up or down. 

The "h" stretches the graph vertically by a factor of . 

The "h" value reflects the graph across the x-axis.

hi!!

misty1212 · Answer

i do not see an $h$ there do you?

anonymous · Answer

hi @misty1212

surana · Answer

I don't see an H, but they told me to find out what the H does.

misty1212 · Answer

i think some math teachers think we can read their minds
there is no standard notation for $h$

misty1212 · Answer

is it 
$$f(x)+h$$? are we supposed to assume the $h$ is outside?

surana · Answer

So....that means this is going to be a long game of "how the heck do people solve this thing", right?

anonymous · Answer

that is real logic @misty1212

surana · Answer

I would assume so.

misty1212 · Answer

or perhaps it is $f(x+h)$ which is a whole different story

misty1212 · Answer

really there is no way to know, some math teacher made this up, it is not mathematics
if it is $f(x+h)$ then that would move the graph left or right
if it is $f(x)+h$ then it moves it up or down

misty1212 · Answer

if you have an example, you can try to mimic that one

mathstudent55 · Answer

Maybe it's $f(x - h)$

anonymous · Answer

dont u sometimes think how crazy math can be

surana · Answer

I've done similar problems to that kind you described.

surana · Answer

And yes, math is crazy. It's my weakest subject, honestly.

misty1212 · Answer

lol maybe it is $$\frac{f(x)}{h}$$ or even 
$$f^h(x)$$

surana · Answer

Something tells me this isn't going to work at all.

misty1212 · Answer

it is not because it is not math it is "read my teacher's mind"

surana · Answer

So what do you recommend? I think I'm going to guess and take my chances.

misty1212 · Answer

i can make a guess

anonymous · Answer

😂 @misty1212

surana · Answer

Alright, I suppose that'll work.

misty1212 · Answer

my guess is it means $$f(x+h)$$ so left/right

surana · Answer

Well, it's better than nothing. I'll go with it.

misty1212 · Answer

maybe you have an example worked out that you can look at?

surana · Answer

Ten more frickin days before school's over and I can be free of this nightmare...

surana · Answer

I think I have a few examples somewhere in my questions asked thing on my profile.

misty1212 · Answer

btw this has nothing to do with logs, it is the same for any function

surana · Answer

Well, it's more than I had a minute ago.

surana · Answer

I guess I'll close this one now. Thanks guys.
