Finding Domain, Asymptote, and Intercepts of a Logarithm
In this lesson, we learn to find the domain, vertical asymptote, and x-intercepts of a logarithm. The teacher explains the importance of knowing the parent graph and how to find transformations. Through examples, we see that transformations such as shifting up or down and reflecting about the x-axis do not change the domain, but we learn to use the exponential form to find the x-intercepts. Overall, this lesson provides a good foundation for understanding the basics of logarithmic functions.

I show how to solve math problems online during live instruction in class. This is my way of providing free tutoring for the students in my class and for students anywhere in the world. Every video is a short clip that shows exactly how to solve math problems step by step. The problems are done in real time and in front of a regular classroom. These videos are intended to help you learn how to solve math problems, review how to solve a math problems, study for a test, or finish your homework. I post all of my videos on YouTube, but if you are looking for other ways to interact with me and my videos you can follow me on the following pages through My Blog, Twitter, or Facebook.
- In y=-log x + 2, does the transformation of (i) +2 affect the domain? (ii) -log x affect the domain?
- Find the x-intercept in y= -logx(base4)+3
