use \"y=a%2Alog%28b%28x+-+h%29%29%2B+k\" to discover that changes in:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"k\" result in vertical shift
\n" ); document.write( "\"h\" result in opposite horizontal shift
\n" ); document.write( "\"a\" result in vertical stretches and compressions (dilations), as well as reflections across the x-axis
\n" ); document.write( "\"b\" result in horizontal stretches and compressions (dilations), as well as reflections across the y-axis\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"f%28x%29+=+log+%28%281%2F2%29+x%29+\"=> \"b=1%2F2\"->parent function \"f%28x%29+=+log%28x%29\" was stretched horizontally by a factor of \"1%2F2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"g%28x%29=2%2Alog%28%281%2F2%29%28x%2B4%29%29\"=> compared to \"f%28x%29+=+log+%28%281%2F2%29+x%29+\" , we got
\n" ); document.write( "\"h=-4\" horizontal translation, graph moved \"4\" units to the left
\n" ); document.write( " and
\n" ); document.write( "\"a=2\" vertical stretch by a factor of \"2\"\r
