Solutions

Expert Solution

Refer to the graph shown in the exercise.

From the graph the vertical asymptote is x = -2 and has been vertically reflected.

 

The equation will be in the form;

y = blog4(x + 2) + k

 

It appears the graph passes through the points (-1, 0) and (2, 3) substitute (-1, 0) as follows:

0 = alog4(-1 + 2) + k

0 = alog4(1) + k

0 = 0 + k

k = 0

 

Now substitute (2, 3) as follows:

3 = alog4(2 + 2) + 0

3 = alog4(4)

a = 3

 

Thus the equation of the function is y = 3log4(x + 2).

 

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


Thus the equation of the function is y = 3log4(x + 2).
