Answer:
f(x) = log x - 1 --> (10, 0)
f(x) = -(log x - 2) --> (100, 0)
f(x) = log(- x - 2) --> (-3, 0)
f(x) = -log-(x-1) --> (0, 0)
Explanation:
An x-intercept is the position where the value of y(in this case f(x)) is 0.
Let's start with the first equation:
f(x) = log x - 1
If f(x) is 0, we would get this equation:
0 = log x - 1
Now, we solve for x:
1 = log x
x = 10
This means the x-intercept is (10, 0).
f(x) = -(log x - 2)
Again, we can set f(x) to 0, and solve for x:
0 = -(log x - 2)
0 = log x - 2
2 = log x
x = 100
This means the x-intercept is (100, 0)
Same process applies for the third:
f(x) = log(- x - 2)
0 = log(- x - 2)
1 = -x - 2
3 = -x
x = -3
(-3, 0)
f(x) = -log-(x-1)
0 = -log-(x-1)
0 = log-(x-1)
1 = -(x-1)
1 = -x + 1
0 = -x
x = 0
(0, 0)
