Answer
1) Graph is shown below in the 'Explanation'.
2) Domain: x > 0
In interval notation,
Domain: (0, ∞)
3) Vertical asymptote: x = 0
Horizontal asymptote: y = 7
4) The transformations required to turn f(x) = In x into f(x) = 7 - In x include
A reflection of f(x) = In x about the x-axis.
Then, this reflected image is then translated 7 units upwards.
Step-by-step explanation
The graph of function is attached below
For the domain and asymptote,
Domain
The domain of a function refers to the values of the independent variable (x), where the dependent variable [y or f(x)] or the function has a corresponding real value. The domain is simply the values of x for which the output also exists. It is the region around the x-axis that the graph of the function spans.
We know that the logarithm of a number only exists if the number is positive.
So,
Domain: x > 0
In interval notation,
Domain: (0, ∞)
Asymptote
Asymptotes are the points on either the x-axis or the y-axis where the graph of the function doesn't touch.
They are usually denoted by broken lines.
For this question, we know that the value of f(x) cannot go beyond f(x) = 7 and x = 0
Vertical asymptote: x = 0
Horizontal asymptote: y = 7
For the transformation
When a function f(x) is translated horizontally along the x-axis by a units, the new function is represented as
f(x + a) when the translation is by a units to the left.
f(x - a) when the translation is by a units to the right.
When a function f(x) is translated vertically along the y-axis by b units, the new function is represented as
f(x) + b when the translation is by b units upwards.
f(x) - b when the translation is by b units downwards.
So, if the original function is
f(x) = In x
f(x) = -In x
This reflects the original function about the x-axis.
Then,
f(x) = 7 - In x
This translates the reflected function by 7 units upwards.
