Question

Which graph would help solve the equation 5log(x+3)=5

Answer 1

log(x+3)=1,
compare to log(x) this graph y=log(x+3) moved 3 units left,
it is a second graph

Answer 2

We are given a equation as:

5log(x+3)=5

We are asked to find a graph that is used to solve the above equation.

We can write the given equation as:

we will divide both side of the equation by 5 to obtain:

log(x+3)=1

Now we have to determine which graph represents the function:

y=log(x+3)

since we know that when x=-2.

y=log(-2+3)=log(1)=0

Hence, the graph should pass through (-2,0).

Hence, the graph that satisfies this is attached to the answer.
