the logarmithmic functions, f(x)=logx and g(x), are shown on the graph. what is the equation that represents g(x)? explain.

g(x) = log(x+1) + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

If a curve has been translated (shifted or slid) you can add to or subtract from the x to show horizontal (left or right) shifts and add or subtract a number tacked onto the end of the equation to cause the vertical shift (up or down).

The curve for g(x) is shifted left 1 unit. So change the x to x+1. Left and right shifts are a little backwards from what you might think. But left shift is a +1.

Vertical shifts adjust the way you would think they should. UP shift 4 units is a +4 on the end of the equation. See image.

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x
