Math Problem Statement
The graph of the function f(x)=log10(x) is stretched vertically by a factor of 7, shifted to the left by 4 units, and shifted down by 5 units.
Find the equation of the function g(x) described above.
Note: If you are using log you need to type it in and use the subscript button on the keyboard. There is no log button.
Solution
The given function is:
Transformations Applied
- Vertical Stretch by 7 → Multiply by 7:
- Shift Left by 4 → Replace with :
- Shift Down by 5 → Subtract 5 from the function:
