Question 282527: I need help with a problem please. y = -log3.5 x. 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. State the equation of the line asymptotic if any. Please help.

The question is telling to replace x with three numbers greater than 1, three numbers less than 1 and also at x = 1. Then you must simplify the log equation for each number you decide to use including x = 1 and then solve for y.
Try the following numbers:
Let x = 2, 3, and 4. Notice all three are greater than 1.
Let x = 0, -1 and -2. Notice all three numbers are less than 1.
Let x = 1
Evaluate the log function using the different values given above for x one at a time.
Can you do it now?
