Question 248954: I have tried to solve it and am stumped! Evaluate the logarithmic equation for three values of x that are greater than -1, three values of x that are between -2 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 to the graph. y = ln(x + 2)

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Evaluate the logarithmic equation for three values of x that are greater than -1, three values of x that are between -2 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 to the graph. y = ln(x + 2)
------------------
Greater than 1:
x = 2 --> y = ln(2 + 2) = ln(4)
y =~ 1.38629 (using a calculator)
Pick 2 more values, do the same.
---------------
Between -2 and -1:
x = -1.5 --> y = ln(-1.5 + 2) = ln(0.5)
y =~ -0.693147(using a calculator)
Pick 2 more values, do the same.
--------------------
Plot the points, draw a curve thru them.
