You can  put this solution on YOUR website! Describe the following characteristics of the logarithmic function y = logax.  
1) Domain: (0,∞)  
2) Range: (-∞,∞) 
3) x-intercept: 1  
4) Horizontal asymptote: none 
5) Vertical asymptote: y-axis or x=0 
6) General shape: starting from (0,-∞) curve becomes less negative until it crosses the x=axis at (1,0), at which point the curve becomes increasingly positive to ∞.
