Question 267996: Evaluate the logarithmic equation for three values of x that are greater than 1, three values of x that are between 0 and 1, and at x=1. Show your work. Use the resulting ordered pairs to plot the graph; submit the graph via the Dropbox. State the equation of the line asymptotic to the graph (if any).
y=log^4(x)+4
I am lost with this.

You'll need a calculator for this problem.


When they say "Evaluate the logarithmic equation...", they simply mean plug in some number in for 'x' and use a calculator to find the result. For example, to evaluate the logarithm for x=1, plug in x=1 to get log%284%2C%281%29%29%2B4=0%2B4=4. You would type in "log(1)/log(4)+4" (without quotes) into your calculator. So when x=1, then y=4 giving you the point (1,4). Use this idea to find the other points. Once you have enough points, plot them on a grid and draw a curve through them to graph y=log%284%2C%28x%29%29%2B4
