  • What is the relationship between exponential and logarithmic functions?
    Logarithmic functions are the inverse of exponential functions; their graphs are reflections of each other over the line y = x.
  • How do you find ordered pairs for the graph of log base 2 of x?
    Plug in values for x, such as x = 1 and x = 2, to get points like (1, 0) and (2, 1).
  • What happens to the ordered pairs from an exponential function when graphing its inverse logarithmic function?
    The x and y values are flipped to create the ordered pairs for the logarithmic function.
  • Where is the vertical asymptote for a logarithmic function located?
    The vertical asymptote is at x = 0 for the parent logarithmic function.
  • What is the domain of the parent logarithmic function?
    The domain is all positive real numbers, typically written as (0, ∞).
  • What is the range of any logarithmic function, regardless of transformations?
    The range is all real numbers, written as (−∞, ∞).
  • How does the base of a logarithmic function affect the direction of its graph?
    If the base is greater than 1, the graph increases; if the base is between 0 and 1, the graph decreases.
  • What is the parent function for g(x) = log base 2 of (x - 1) - 4?
    The parent function is f(x) = log base 2 of x.
  • What does a negative sign outside a logarithmic function indicate?
    It indicates a reflection over the x-axis.
  • What does a negative sign inside a logarithmic function indicate?
    It indicates a reflection over the y-axis.
  • How do you apply horizontal and vertical shifts to a logarithmic function?
    Shift the graph horizontally by h units and vertically by k units, where h and k are from the function's form.
  • How do you determine the new vertical asymptote after a horizontal shift?
    The vertical asymptote moves to x = h, where h is the horizontal shift.
  • How do you plot key points for a transformed logarithmic function?
    Shift the parent function's key points by h units right and k units down or up, then plot them.
  • How do you determine the domain of a transformed logarithmic function?
    The domain starts at the new vertical asymptote (x = h) and goes to infinity if approaching from the right, or from negative infinity to h if approaching from the left.
  • What is the final step in graphing a transformed logarithmic function?
    Connect the shifted points with a curve that approaches the vertical asymptote, sketching the graph.
