- Vertical compression by a factor of 2

- Reflection in x-axis

- Horizontal stretch by a factor of 7

- Reflection in the y-axis

- Shift 2 units right

- Shift 9 units up

𝑃𝐻 = − 𝑙𝑜𝑔10(0. 02)
𝑥
10 = 0. 02

𝑃𝐻 = 1. 70

Therefore the PH is acidic because it is at 1.70PH

8𝑙𝑜𝑔{2(𝑥)} = 𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑏(𝑥) + 𝑐

8{𝑙𝑜𝑔2 + 𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑥} = 𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑏 (𝑥) + 𝑐

8𝑙𝑜𝑔2 = 8𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑥 = 𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑏(𝑥) + 𝑐

2. 4082 + 8𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑥 = 𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑏(𝑥) + 𝑐

8𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑥 = 𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑏(𝑥)
𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑥
8𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑥 = 8𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑥

𝑏 = 10 8

𝑏 = 1. 3335

Therefore 𝑙𝑜𝑔1.3335(𝑥) + 2. 4082 = 𝑔(𝑥)

b)

𝑔(𝑥) = 8𝑙𝑜𝑔 {2(𝑥)} −−> 𝑔(𝑥) = 𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑏 {𝑘(𝑥)}

8𝑙𝑜𝑔 {2(𝑥)} = 𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑏 {2(𝑥)}

𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑏 8𝑙𝑜𝑔{2(𝑥)} 𝑙𝑜𝑔 {2(𝑥)}

𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑏 = 8

𝑏 = 10 8

𝑏 = 1. 3335

Therefore 𝑔(𝑥) = 𝑙𝑜𝑔1.3335{2(𝑥)}

c)
𝑏
𝑙𝑜𝑔 (𝑥 ) = 𝑏𝑙𝑜𝑔 (𝑥)
8
𝑔(𝑥) = 𝑙𝑜𝑔 {2(𝑥)}

Therefore 𝑔(𝑥) = 𝑙𝑜𝑔 {256(𝑥 )}

- A negative base raised to a fraction only has imaginary solutions

- A base of 0 would always result in 0

- A base of 1 would always result to 1

- Logs of negative numbers are not defined as real numbers

- The domain is restricted to positive values

- Its impossible, by definition log is the inverse of an exponential function
