6.3 Transformations of Logarithms Functions


Consider a logarithmic function of the form 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑎 log 𝑏 [𝑘(𝑥 − 𝑑)] + 𝑐
Base/ Parent function is: The mapping rule: (𝑥, 𝑦) ⟶ ( , )

Recall: The logarithmic function is the inverse of exponential function.

Exponential function 𝑦 = 𝑏 𝑥 Logarithmic function 𝑦 = log 𝑏 𝑥

The logarithmic function 𝑦 = log10 𝑥 has been vertically compressed by a factor of , horizontally

stretched by a factor of 4, and then reflected in the y-axis. It has also been horizontally translated so that
the vertical asymptote is 𝑥 = −2 and then vertically translated 3 units down. Write an equation of the
transformed function, and state its domain and range.
