Question 144347: If g(x) is a logarithmic function, then what effect does 'c' have on g(x) if
f(x) = g(cx)?
a. g(x) shifts c units to the sign opposite of c
b. g(x) stretches or shrinks horizontally
c. g(x) stretches vertically
d. There is no effect on g(x)

If g(x) is a logarithmic function, then what effect does 'c' have on g(x) if
f(x) = g(cx)?
a. g(x) shifts c units to the sign opposite of c
b. g(x) stretches or shrinks horizontally
c. g(x) stretches vertically
d. There is no effect on g(x)
-----------------------------
log(cx) = logc + logx
---------------------------
g(cx) will raise of lower g(x) depending on
whether 0 < c< 1 (lower) or c >1 (raise).
