Student Problem #4: Unit I Concept 2

Student Problem #4 Unit I Concept 2

  • What is this problem about?

This problem goes over a real life example of a problem from Unit I Concept 2. Concept 2 deals with an example that is a logarithmic graph and by identifying it as that, we know that x=k and there are no restrictions on the range. Because it is a logarithmic graph we have a new equation in which we use: log base b (x-h)+k. Also, for this type of graph it is only important that we understand that the domain is dependent upon the asymptote. 
  • What does the viewer need to pay special attention to in order to understand the concept?
The viewer needs to make sure to pay attention on how to find the asymptote, instead of it being y=k it is now x=h for the asymptote so you need to make sure to know what h equals by looking back at the formula given. Yo must also play close attention to how you solve for both the x and y intercept because since we are now dealing with logs and natural log then we need to be aware that we know how to get rid of them, so that we can simplify further. Another important fact that we must remember and pay attention to is how to write the domain and range. For this type of logarithmic graph we should remmeber that there are no restrictions on range and for the domain will include the asymptote and an infinity sign.
