Solutions

Expert Solution

Refer to the graph shown in the exercise.

From the graph the vertical asymptote is x = 1 and has been vertically reflected.

 

The equation will be in the form;

y = alog2(-x + 1) + k

 

It appears the graph passes through the points (0, 0) and (-1, 1)

Substitute (0, 0) as follows:

0 = alog2(-0 + 1) + k

0 = alog2(1) + k

0 = 0 + k

k = 0

 

Now substitute (-1, 1) as follows:

1 = alog2(1 + 1) + 0

1 = alog2(21)

a = 1

 

Here the reflection is along y-axis

 

Thus the equation of the function is y = log2(-x + 1).

 

Now check the equation by graphing the function as shown below:


Here the reflection is along y-axis

Thus the equation of the function is y = log2(-x + 1).
