the x intercept of f(x)=log5 x is 1 whats the x-intercept of y=4f(3-x)+2 ?
y = 4log5(3-x) + 2 .........set y =0
0 = 4log5(3-x) + 2 .........subtract 2 from both sides
-2 = 4log5(3-x) ..........divide by 4
-1/2 = log5(3-x) ....in exponential form, we have
5 -1/2 = 3-x .....or........
1/√5 = 3 -x .......add x to both sides, subtract 1/√5 from both sides
x = 3 - 1/√5 = [3√5 - 1]/√5
So we have....... ( [3√5 - 1]/√5 , 0 )
y = 4log5(3-x) + 2 .........set y =0
0 = 4log5(3-x) + 2 .........subtract 2 from both sides
-2 = 4log5(3-x) ..........divide by 4
-1/2 = log5(3-x) ....in exponential form, we have
5 -1/2 = 3-x .....or........
1/√5 = 3 -x .......add x to both sides, subtract 1/√5 from both sides
x = 3 - 1/√5 = [3√5 - 1]/√5
So we have....... ( [3√5 - 1]/√5 , 0 )
