Math Problem Statement
Solution
You have a table with three logarithmic functions and columns to fill in the Domain, Range, x-intercept, and Horizontal Asymptote (H.A.). Let's go over each function and determine these properties:
1.
-
Domain: The argument inside the logarithm must be greater than zero. Therefore, .
Domain: -
Range: The range of any logarithmic function is all real numbers. Adding 5 shifts the function vertically but does not change the range.
Range: -
x-intercept: Set to find the x-intercept:
x-intercept: -
Horizontal Asymptote (H.A.): A logarithmic function approaches as approaches 0 from the right. The vertical shift by 5 does not affect the horizontal asymptote.
H.A.:
2.
-
Domain: The argument inside the logarithm must be positive:
.
Domain: -
Range: The range of the logarithmic function is still all real numbers, unaffected by the 5.
Range: -
x-intercept: Set to find the x-intercept:
x-intercept: -
Horizontal Asymptote (H.A.): The same reasoning applies as in the first function. The vertical shift of 5 moves the horizontal asymptote to .
H.A.:
3.
-
Domain: Set the argument inside the logarithm greater than zero:
.
Domain: -
Range: The range is still all real numbers.
Range: -
x-intercept: Set to find the x-intercept:
x-intercept: -
Horizontal Asymptote (H.A.): For this function, the horizontal asymptote corresponds to the logarithmic behavior as , which happens as from the right.
H.A.: No horizontal asymptote for this one, since logarithmic functions typically only have vertical asymptotes based on their domain.

Here are 5 related questions to explore:
- How do vertical and horizontal shifts affect the graph of a logarithmic function?
- What happens to the domain if you have a negative coefficient inside the logarithm?
- How do you graph a transformed logarithmic function like ?
- What is the general process for solving ?
- Can a logarithmic function have more than one x-intercept?
Tip: When working with logarithmic functions, always start by analyzing the domain carefully to ensure you avoid non-real arguments!
