SV 4: Unit I Concept 2: Graphing Logarithmic Equations

The parts of the problem a student needs to pay attention to is how to plug in the equation into a calculator, since it is a little bit trickier than exponential equations. A student needs to know how to apply the change of base formula to input the equation into a calculator and determine other important points on the graph. Furthermore, a student needs to pay attention to the domain and range. There are no restrictions on the y-values, or the range, but there will be a restriction on the x-values, or the domain. The vertical asymptote permits any x-values that are less than or equal to negative 1.
