The figure shows the graph of f(x) = ln x. In Exercises 65–74, use transformations of this graph to graph each function. Graph and give equations of the asymptotes. Use the graphs to determine each function's domain and range. g(x) = 2 ln x

Recall the parent function: \(f(x) = \ln x\), which has a vertical asymptote at \(x = 0\), domain \((0, \infty)\), and range \((-\infty, \infty)\).
Identify the transformation in \(g(x) = 2 \ln x\): the factor 2 is a vertical stretch by a factor of 2, which stretches the graph of \(\ln x\) vertically but does not affect the domain or the asymptote.
Write the equation of the asymptote for \(g(x)\): since the transformation does not shift the graph horizontally, the vertical asymptote remains at \(x = 0\).
Determine the domain of \(g(x)\): because the input to the logarithm must be positive, the domain remains \((0, \infty)\).
Determine the range of \(g(x)\): since vertical stretching does not restrict the output values of the logarithm, the range remains \((-\infty, \infty)\).

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Logarithmic Functions and Their Graphs

A logarithmic function, such as f(x) = ln x, is the inverse of an exponential function. Its graph passes through (1,0) and is defined only for x > 0. Understanding the shape and behavior of the natural logarithm graph is essential for applying transformations.

Transformations of Functions

Transformations include vertical stretches, compressions, shifts, and reflections applied to a base graph. For g(x) = 2 ln x, the factor 2 vertically stretches the graph of ln x by a factor of 2, affecting the steepness but not the domain or asymptote location.

Domain & Range of Transformed Functions

Asymptotes, Domain, and Range of Logarithmic Functions

The vertical asymptote of ln x is the y-axis (x=0), where the function is undefined. The domain of ln x and its transformations is x > 0, while the range is all real numbers. Recognizing how transformations affect these properties is key to graphing and describing the function.
