Find a possible equation for the common logarithmic function graphed in
[link] .
This graph has a vertical asymptote at
and has been vertically reflected. We do not know yet the vertical shift or the vertical stretch. We know so far that the equation will have form:
It appears the graph passes through the points
and
Substituting
Is it possible to tell the domain and range and describe the end behavior of a function just by looking at the graph?
Yes, if we know the function is a general logarithmic function. For example, look at the graph in
[link] . The graph approaches
(or thereabouts) more and more closely, so
is, or is very close to, the vertical asymptote. It approaches from the right, so the domain is all points to the right,
The range, as with all general logarithmic functions, is all real numbers. And we can see the end behavior because the graph goes down as it goes left and up as it goes right. The end behavior is that as
and as

When the parent function
is multiplied by
the result is a reflection about the
x -axis. When the input is multiplied by
the result is a reflection about the
y -axis.
The equation
represents a reflection of the parent function about the
x- axis.
The equation
represents a reflection of the parent function about the
y- axis.
the transfer of energy by a force that causes an object to be displaced; the product of the component of the force in the direction of the displacement and the magnitude of the displacement
A wave is described by the function D(x,t)=(1.6cm) sin[(1.2cm^-1(x+6.8cm/st] what are:a.Amplitude b. wavelength c. wave number d. frequency e. period f. velocity of speed.
A body is projected upward at an angle 45° 18minutes with the horizontal with an initial speed of 40km per second. In hoe many seconds will the body reach the ground then how far from the point of projection will it strike. At what angle will the horizontal will strike
Suppose hydrogen and oxygen are diffusing through air. A small amount of each is released simultaneously. How much time passes before the hydrogen is 1.00 s ahead of the oxygen? Such differences in arrival times are used as an analytical tool in gas chromatography.
