Q. Write the equation for g that represents the indicated transformation of the graph f. f(x)=logx; translation 3 units to the left and 2 units up, followed by a reflection in the x axis
Replace x with (x+3): To translate the function 3 units to the left, we replace x with (x+3) in the function f(x)=logx. This gives us the intermediate function h(x)=log(x+3).
Translate 2 units up: Next, we translate the function h(x)=log(x+3)2 units up by adding 2 to the function. This gives us the intermediate function i(x)=log(x+3)+2.
Reflect in x-axis: Finally, to reflect the function i(x)=log(x+3)+2 in the x-axis, we multiply the function by −1. This gives us the final function g(x)=−log(x+3)−2.
