For the following exercises, write a logarithmic equation corresponding to the graph shown.
Use y = log2 (x) as the parent function.
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).
