The graph of the function f(x) = log5 (x) is stretched vertically by a factor of 2, shifted to the left by 8 units, and shifted up by 3 units.
Find the equation of the function g(x) described above.

We start with y = g(x) = f(x)

First, we have a vertical stretch by a factor of 2.

A vertical strech by a factor of A will be g(x) = A*f(x)

then in this case A = 2, so we have g(x) =  2*f(x)

Now we have it shifted left by 8 units.

We know that f(x - A) shift right the graph by A units (A positive), here A = 8.

then we have: g(x) =  2*f(x - 8)

Now we want shift up 3 units, if we have y = f(x) we can shift the graph up by A units as: y = g(x) + A (for A positive)

Then we have: g(x) =  2*f(x - 8) + 3

now, our function was f(x) = Log₅(x)

then g(x) = 2*log₅(x - 8) + 3.

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
