In functions; transformations are used to move lines, points, curves or shapes across the graph (i.e. up, down, right or left). After the transformation of [tex]f(x) = \log\ x[/tex], the resulting function is [tex]g(x) = 2\log\ (-x + 4) - 6[/tex]
Given that:
[tex]f(x) = \log\ x[/tex]
When translated 4 units left, the rule of translation is:
[tex](x,y) \to (x + 4,y)[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]f'(x) = \log\ (x + 4)[/tex]
When translated 3 units down, the rule of translation is:
[tex](x,y) \to (x,y-3)[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]f"(x) = \log\ (x + 4) - 3[/tex]
When reflected about the y-axis, the rule of reflection is:
[tex](x,y) \to (-x,y)[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]f'"(x) = \log\ (-x + 4) - 3\\[/tex]
Lastly, when it is vertically stretched by 2; the rule is:
[tex](x,y) \to (x,2y)[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]g(x) = 2[\log\ (-x + 4) - 3][/tex]
Open bracket
[tex]g(x) = 2\log\ (-x + 4) - 6[/tex]
