Question 173883: How do you change the functions below to make them easier to graph? It is possible to just look that the functions as it is and understand how the graph will look like, in terms of the x and y points?
Y=log_2^(4x)
Y=log_2^(x^2)
Y=log_2(x-2)
Y=log_2(x^-1)
Log_2 means to the base of 2.

I can rewrite this as

If I plot

instead, this
is the inverse function and will be symmetrical
with the original function about .
I'll plot both to prove it

As for which is which, The has the points
(-1,2), (0,1), (1,1/2)
You can apply this method to the others also
