Question 411922:  Please help, I am lost. 
1: The parent function for the graph is of the form y=(ab)^x 
   Write the parent function.  2 Points are (0,6) and (1,2) 
   Write a function for the translation right 4 units and up 2 units.
 
2: Write the expression as a single logarithm:  5log[b]q + 2log[b]y (where [] indicates the base of)
 
THANKS!!!

You can  put this solution on YOUR website! 1: The parent function for the graph is of the form y=(ab)^x 
Write the parent function.  
2 Points are (0,6) and (1,2) 
---- 
Substitute and solve the system for a and b: 
Using (0,6) you would get 6 = (ab)^0 
6 = 1 
That is a contradiction. 
Check your problem statement. 
-----------------------------------
 
Write a function for the translation right 4 units and up 2 units. 
y = (ab)^(x-4)+2 
-----------------------  
2: Write the expression as a single logarithm:  
5log[b]q + 2log[b]y (where [] indicates the base of)  
----- 
logb[q^5] + logb[y^2] 
--- 
= logb[q^6*y^2]
