I.Know General Shape of parent graph: log%2810%2C+x%5E6%29%29 Green (vertical asymptote x = 0)
II. Find Intercepts of 6log%284%2C%28x%2B2%29%29 0r log%284%2C%28x%2B2%29%5E6%29 Note: log%284%2C%281%29%29 = 0
note: 6log%284%2C%282%29%29
log%284%2C%288%29%29 = 1/2 , (4^(1/2) = 2)
6(1/2) = 3
III. Plot (-3,0),(-1,0),(0,3), draw vertical asymptote x = -2 and sketch Blue
