Transforming Exponential and Logarithmic Functions
Graph each function. Find the asymptote. Tell how the graph is
transformed from the graph of its parent function.
x
1. f (x) = 5(2x) 2. f ( x ) = 5 4
_________________________________________ ________________________________________
3. f (x) = log (x + 5) 4. f (x) = 3 + ln x
_________________________________________ ________________________________________
Write each transformed function.
5. The function f (x) = log (x + 1) is reflected across the y-axis
and translated down 4 units.
6. The function f (x) = −8x − 3 is reflected across the x-axis,
compressed horizontally by a factor of 0.2, and stretched
vertically by a factor of 2.
Solve.
7. The function A(t) = Pert can be used to calculate the growth of an investment
in which the interest is compounded continuously at an annual rate, r, over
t years. What annual rate would double an investment in 8 years?
