Question 301597: 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 to the graph (if any).
y = log5x
Pretty Please Help!!!! I am so lost.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! What are the issues?
What part are you lost on? Please be specific.
It's a pretty straightforward question.
Pick three x values greater than 1: 2,3,4.
Three x values between zero and 1: (1/8),(1/4), (1/2)
Include x=1.
Evaluate the function at those points.
Use a calculator or EXCEL.

Now plot the x-y pairs.
If you look at the graph, there is a limit as x approaches 0 which would be a vertical asymptote at  .
That's the only one.
