Math Problem Statement

Solution

The question appears to be about identifying the features of the function f(x)=2log2x+3f(x) = -2 \log_2 x + 3 based on the graph provided. Let's break down the problem step by step:

  1. Type of Function: The function f(x)=2log2x+3f(x) = -2 \log_2 x + 3 is a logarithmic function.

  2. Asymptote: For logarithmic functions of the form y=logb(xh)+ky = \log_b(x-h) + k, the vertical asymptote is at x=hx = h. In this case, since there's no horizontal shift (i.e., h=0h = 0), the vertical asymptote is at x=0x = 0.

  3. Range: The range of the function is all real numbers (,)(-\infty, \infty), because a logarithmic function can output any real number.

  4. Domain: The domain of the function is (0,)(0, \infty) since the logarithm is undefined for non-positive values of xx.

  5. End Behavior:

    • As xx approaches 0+0^+ (from the right), f(x)f(x) goes to ++\infty due to the negative coefficient multiplying the logarithm.
    • As xx increases without bound (xx \to \infty), f(x)f(x) decreases and approaches -\infty.

Given these points, let's fill in the blanks based on the provided graph and function information:

  1. The function f(x)f(x) is a decreasing logarithmic function with a vertical asymptote of x=0x = 0.
  2. The range of the function is all real numbers.
  3. The function is defined on its domain of (0,)(0, \infty).
  4. The end behavior on the left side (as xx approaches 0) is that the function goes to ++\infty.
  5. The end behavior on the right side (as xx approaches infinity) is that the function goes to -\infty.

Do you have any questions or would you like further details?


Here are 5 related questions you might want to explore:

  1. How do the coefficients of a logarithmic function affect its graph?
  2. What would happen to the graph if the base of the logarithm were changed from 2 to 10?
  3. How do you determine the domain and range for logarithmic functions with transformations?
  4. What are the differences in behavior between logarithmic and exponential functions?
  5. How do vertical and horizontal shifts affect the asymptote of a logarithmic function?

Tip: When dealing with logarithmic functions, always check the domain first, as the logarithm is only defined for positive arguments.
