Graph of the basic function:
Shift the graph of the basic function up by two units
Check your answer by substituting x = 0 to verify that the graph passes by the point (0, 3)
b) find the domain, range and asysmptotes (if any) of f(x)
Domain:
All real numbers
Range:
Range of basic function
add 2 to all sides of the inequality
Horizontal asymptote: As x --> - , y --> 2
Thus, the line y = 2 is a horizontal asymptote
c) find the inverse of f(x)
Interchange x and y:
4.
Let . Find the value of y
Use the property:
Raise both side to power 3
5. If and , find
Change the base
Factor 300
6. Let
a) sketch the graph of f(x)
==>
Use
==>
Take the antilog of all sides.
Keep the direction of the inequalities since is an increasing function
Another way:
==>
Multiply by -1 and reverse the direction of inequality
Take the antilog and reverse the direction of the inequality since is a decreasing function.
Solve for y:
Take log base 2 of both sides
Thus,
7. Solve for x
Cross multiply
Isolate
Take natural log of both sides
8. Solve for x:
So, the graph of should pass by the point (2,0).
b) find the domain, range and asysmptotes (if any) of f(x)
Domain:
==>
Range: All real numbers
Vertical asymptote:
==>
Thus, the line x = 3 is a vertical asymptote.
c) find the inverse of f(x)
Interchange x and y:
Solve for y:

1.
Let
a) sketch the graph of f(x)
Graph of the basic function:
As discussed in class: When there is a combination of shifting and reflection about the y axis, we do the shifting first.
Shift the graph of to the left by 3 units to get the graph of
Reflect the graph of about the y axis to get the graph of
You may check your answer by substituting x = 2:
==>
==>
==>
or
Upon checking the answers in the original equation, we find that x = - 23/3 is not a solution. Thus the solution set is { 3 }.
