If f(x)=logx, explain the transformation that occurs when f(0.25(x-5))+3

First, let's explain the transformations in a general way:

Vertical shift.

If we have a function f(x), a vertical shift of N units is written as:

g(x) = f(x) + N

This will move the graph of f(x) up or down a distance of N units.

if N is positive, then the shift is upwards

if N is negative, then the shift is downwards.

Horizontal shift.

If we have a function f(x), a horizontal shift of N units is written as:

g(x) = f(x + N)

This will move the graph of f(x) to the right or left a distance of N units.

if N is positive, then the shift is to the left

if N is negative, then the shift is to the right.

Horizontal dilation/contraction.

For a function f(x), an horizontal contraction dilation is written as:

g(x) = f(k*x)

where:

k is called the "scale factor"

If k < 1, then the graph "dilates" horizontally.

if k > 1, then the graph "contracts" horizontally.

Now, in this problem we have:

f(x) = log(x)

And the transformed function is:

g(x) = f(0.25*(x - 5)) + 3

Then, the transformations that take place here are, in order:

Vertical shift of 3 units up:

g(x) = f(x) + 3.

Horizontal shift of 5 units to the right:

g(x) = f(x - 5) + 3

Horizontal dilation of scale factor 0.25

g(x) = f( 0.25*(x - 5)) + 3

replacing f(x) by log(x) we have

g(x) = log(0.25*(x - 5)) + 3.

1) c 2143.6 cm

2) c 113.0 m

3) a 33.5 ft

4)   d 2 cm

5) c 20 mm

6) 180 in

7) d 120 ft

14.3

step-by-step explanation:

add all the numbers together.

9 + 12 + 15 + 16 + 17 + 17 = 86

now, divide 86 by how many numbers we have: 6.

86 / 6 = 14.3
