How to graph: f(x)=2log(base 2)(x+8)-3
\n" ); document.write( "Do it in steps:
\n" ); document.write( "log2(x):Basic log curve
\n" ); document.write( "asymptote at x=0 or y-axis
\n" ); document.write( "x-intercept at (1,0)
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "log(x+8): shift curve 8 units left
\n" ); document.write( "asymptote at x=-8
\n" ); document.write( "x-intercept at (-7,0)
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "log(x+8)-3: drop curve 3 units down
\n" ); document.write( "asymptote: no change at x=-8
\n" ); document.write( "x-intercept coordinates drop to (-7,3)
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "2log(base 2)(x+8)-3: slope increases slightly(final configuration)
\n" ); document.write( "asymptote: no change at x=-8
\n" ); document.write( "x-intercept coordinates remain at (-7,3) \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
