Graphing logarithmic equations

The video tutorial explains how to solve a problem involving the function y = 1/3 to the negative X. It covers the challenges of dealing with fractions and negative exponents, and explains the concept of transformations, specifically reflection about the Y axis. The instructor demonstrates how to graph the parent function without transformations, create a table of values, and apply transformations to reflect the graph over the Y axis.

What happens to the graph of a function when you multiply by a negative inside the function?

• It shifts up.

• It reflects over the Y-axis.

• It reflects over the X-axis.

• It shifts down.

How can you rewrite a logarithmic function to help graph it?

• In quadratic form.

• In linear form.

• In exponential form.

• In polynomial form.

Which two points are used to graph the parent function of y = 1/3 to the X?

• (1/3, 1) and (1, 0)

• (1, 1) and (0, 1/3)

• (0, 1) and (1, 1/3)

• (1/3, 0) and (0, 1)

What is the effect of reflecting a graph over the Y-axis?

• The graph is mirrored horizontally.

• The graph is mirrored vertically.

• The graph shifts to the left.

• The graph shifts to the right.

After applying the transformation, what are the new coordinates of the points on the graph?

• Left 1/3, down one and left 1, 0

• Right 1/3, down one and right 1, 0

• Left 1/3, up one and left 1, 0

• Right 1/3, up one and right 1, 0
