Can someone help me with this problem, how do I plot the graph of the function
f(x)=log (subscript5) x
-----
Let x = 1, then y = log(5)1 = 0
Let x = 1/5 = 5^-1, then y = log(5)5^-1 = -1
Let x = 5, then y = log(5)5 = 1
-----
Plot the three points: (1,0), (1/5,-1), (5,1)
and draw a smooth curve thru them to see the graph.
