검증된 단계별 안내

Identify the base function: The given function is \( f(x) = \ln x \), which is the natural logarithm function with domain \( (0, \infty) \) and range \( (-\infty, \infty) \). Its vertical asymptote is the line \( x = 0 \).
Analyze the transformation: The function \( g(x) = \ln (x + 2) \) represents a horizontal shift of the base function \( f(x) = \ln x \) to the left by 2 units because the input \( x \) is replaced by \( x + 2 \).
Determine the new domain: Since the argument of the logarithm must be positive, set \( x + 2 > 0 \). Solve this inequality to find the domain of \( g(x) \).
Find the new vertical asymptote: The vertical asymptote occurs where the argument of the logarithm is zero, so set \( x + 2 = 0 \) and solve for \( x \) to find the equation of the asymptote.
Describe the range: The range of \( g(x) = \ln (x + 2) \) remains the same as the base function \( f(x) = \ln x \), which is \( (-\infty, \infty) \), because vertical shifts or horizontal shifts do not affect the range of the logarithmic function.

Natural Logarithm Function

The natural logarithm function, denoted as ln(x), is the inverse of the exponential function e^x. It is defined only for positive x-values and has a vertical asymptote at x = 0. Understanding its basic shape and properties is essential for graph transformations.

Graph Transformations

Graph transformations involve shifting, stretching, or reflecting the graph of a function. For g(x) = ln(x + 2), the graph of ln(x) shifts horizontally left by 2 units. Recognizing how changes inside the function's argument affect the graph helps in sketching and analyzing new functions.

Intro to Transformations

Domain, Range, and Asymptotes

The domain of ln(x) is (0, ∞), and its range is (-∞, ∞). Horizontal or vertical shifts affect the domain and location of asymptotes. For g(x) = ln(x + 2), the vertical asymptote moves to x = -2, and the domain becomes (-2, ∞), while the range remains all real numbers.
