please help!! logarithms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

g(x) = 3f(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't understand which it could be. >.<

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, so when f(x) = 0 then x = 1. Can you understand who I got that answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no. /.\

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(x) = 0 = 3log_10(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0=log_10(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which means that when x=1, f(x) = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh oke.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

using the same method we can show that, when x=0, g(x)=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you see how I got that result?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it should be when x=1, g(x)=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which means both f(x) and g(x) graphs should go through the point (1,0)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So any of the shifting is not an answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now we are left with only two possibilities; either stretching or compressing.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it stretches. c:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I hope you got the idea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i did! thank you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cool
