this is what i get for graphing both, but the answers are confusing me.
OpenStudy (idku):
u don't need to graph the functions to determine the answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay. how can i determine the answer without graphing them?

\(\LARGE f(x)=2\log_{10}(x-1)-4 \)
\(\LARGE g(x)=10(x-1)^2+4\)
first I just want to put the functions up not to click a different tab every time

the parent logarithmic function is
\(\LARGE L(x)=\log_{10}(x) \) (naming it L of x, becuase it is logarithmic)
\(\LARGE L(x+a)=\log_{10}(x+a) \) is a shift a units to the left
\(\LARGE L(x+a)=\log_{10}(x-a) \) is a shift a units to the right
\(\LARGE L(x)=B\times \log_{10}(x) \) multiples times a scale factor B
OpenStudy (idku):
how do you obtain the g(x) from a parent function \(\LARGE L(x)=\log_{10}(x) \) ?
OpenStudy (idku):
i mean how do you obtain f(x) (not g of x)

When you replace x with x - h, h being a number, the function is translated h units horizontally.
When you replace y with y - k, k being a number, the function is translated k units vertically.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so are you two saying that it's some sort of vertical shift?
