Respuesta :
The y-values of the graph increases as the value of x increases, which
indicates that a characteristic of the base of the logarithm function.
Correct response:
- The function that corresponds with the graph is; [tex]\underline{\mathrm{y = log_6 x}}[/tex]
How can the function of a log graph be determined?
The given points on the graph are;
The point where the graph starts = Quadrant 4
Direction of the graph = From quadrant 4 to quadrant 1
Points on the graph are;
(0.5, -0.4), (1, 0), and (6, 1)
The given options are;
[tex]y = \mathrm{log_{\frac{1}{6} } x}[/tex]
[tex]y = \mathrm{log_{0.5} x}[/tex]
[tex]y = \mathrm{log_1 x}[/tex]
[tex]y = \mathrm{log_{6} x}[/tex]
From the shape of the graph, in which, log x increases as x increases, therefore;
The base, b, of the logarithm is larger than 1, given that we have;
[tex]\mathbf{log_bx} = y[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{b^y} = x[/tex]
From the given coordinate points, x increases as y increases, therefore;
b > 1
The possibly option is therefore, y = log₆x
Verifying, we have;
At x = -0.4, y = 0.5
[tex]b^y = x[/tex]
[tex]6 ^{(-0.4)}[/tex] ≈ 0.488
Therefore, the point (0.5, -0.4) is close to the graph of y = log₆x
At the point (1, 0), we have;
6⁰ = 1
Therefore, the point (1, 0), is on the graph of y = log₆x
At the point (6, 1), we have;
6¹ = 6
Therefore, the point (6, 1) is on the graph of y = log₆x
The function of the graph is therefore;
- [tex]\underline{ \mathrm{y = log_6 x}}[/tex]
