# Math Help - log 5

1. ## log 5

1. what is the logarithmic equation with the following transformations

shifted 4 units left
shifted 3 units up
vertically compressed by 1/3
horizontal stretch by 3

2. write $log_{2} (\frac{1}{4})=-2$ in exponential form

3. write $81^{\frac{3}{4}}=27$ in logarithmic form

4. what is x in the equation $log_{\frac{1}{4}}x=-2$

1) We've gone over transformations before, william.
Shifting to the left means that f(x) changes to f(x + c).
Shifting upwards means that f(x) changes to f(x) + c.
A vertical shrink means that f(x) changes to c*f(x), where c is in 0 < c < 1.
A horizontal stretch means that f(x) changes to f(x/c), where c > 1.

Apply these transformations, one after another, to f(x) = log(x).

2. write $log_{2} (\frac{1}{4})=-2$ in exponential form
3. write $81^{\frac{3}{4}}=27$ in logarithmic form
If you have a logarithmic equation
$\log_b x = y$,
then the corresponding exponential form is
$b^y = x$.

4. what is x in the equation $log_{\frac{1}{4}}x=-2$
Change the equation into exponential form.

thanks,for the equation i get f(x)= log(x+4)+3, i can't get the rest

for 2 i get $2^-2=1/4
$

for 3 i get $log_{3/4}27=81$

for 4 i get $x=1/16
$
