MHF4U Transformations of Logarithmic Functions

When graphing transformations of log functions, it is important to know that there may be
different bases for the log graphs.

Sketch the base functions y = log 2 x , y = log 3 x and y = log x .

y = log 2 x y = log 3 x y = log x

Domain

Range

x -intercept

y -intercept

asymptote

Example 1 State the domain, range, x and y -intercept, and asymptote for each function.
Draw the base log function then the transformations.

a) y = − log 4 ( x − 2) − 5

y = − log 4 ( x − 2) − 5

Domain

Range

y -intercept

b) y = log 2 ( x + 3) 5

y = log 2 ( x + 3) 5

Example 2 The graphs of y = log 3 (3x) and the graph of y = log 3 ( x) + 1 would be the same.
How can you show this is true?

 x
Example 3 The graph of y = log 4   is equivalent to y = log 4 x shifted in some direction.
 16 
What shift would you need?

Example 4 Determine an equation for the graph:
