6.06 Graphs of Logarithms (28 Points)

This task requires you to create a graph. You have several options:
• Use the Word tools;
• Draw the graph by hand, then photograph or scan your graph; or
• Use the GeoGebra linked on the Task page of the lesson to create the graph; then, insert a
screenshot of the graph into this task.

Use the GeoGebra Log Grapher linked on the Task page to answer the following question.
1. Imagine that you are asked to graph log6(x + 3)  2. How does this graph compare to that of
the graph of log6 (x)?

the graph has comparison because it was moved down 3 and left 3

Use the blank grids below to graph the given equations. You are given the parent function.
You may draw your graph using the Word tools to sketch the graph. Then, answer the
given questions.

2. f(x) = log3(x – 5) + 2

Domain: all real #'s Range: y>0 Asymptote: 2

x-intercept: 5 y-intercept: none

End Behavior: As x approaches 5 from the left, the graph tends to negative infinity and as x
approaches positive infinityon the right the graph tends to positive infinity.
3. f(x) = log2(x + 3)  1

Domain: -3,infinity Range: (infinity,infinity) Asymptote: 3

x-intercept: -1,0) y-intercept: 0
End Behavior: As x approaches 0 from the left, the graph tends to negative infinity and as x
approaches positive infinityon the right the graph tends to positive infinity.

Use GeoGebra linked on the task page to solve the equations. Go to Edit  Graphics View
to Clipboard to copy and insert your graphic. Then, prove your solution by substituting it
back into the equation.
Note: To graph logs in Geogebra, enter the base and argument in the input as follows:
logb(x + h) - log(b, x + h)

4. log3(x + 7) = 3

Solution: 2=20

Verify solution:

X+7=3^3
X+7=27
X+7-7=27-7
X=20

5. log2(x  2) = log4(6x + 4)
Solution: 10

Verify solution:
Verify solution: (x-2)^2=6x+4
X(x-2)-2(x-2)=6x+4
X^2-2x-2(x-2)=6x+4
X^2-4x+4=6x+4
X^2-4x+4-6x-4=0
X^2-4x-6x=0
X^2-10x=0
x= −(10)±√ 102 −4(1)(0) 2(1)
x= 10±10 2 X=10
x=0
