The general form of a logarithmic function is f(x) = k + alogb(x - h), where a, b, h and k are reals number so that b is a positive number different to 1 and x - h > 0.

Let's suppose we start with the graph of log₁₀(x), if we have k = 3 we are translating this graph 3 units up, and then one transformation of the logarithm function is:

1) f(x) = log₁₀(x) + 4

Similarly, by taking a as 2, we are scalling vertically the graph with the following equation:

2) f(x) = 2log₁₀(x)

By taking h as 1 we are translating the graph 1 unit to the right, like this:

3) f(x) = log₁₀(x - 1)

We can do all these transformation simultaneously, to get:

4) f(x) = 2log₁₀(x - 1) + 4

Similarly, we can generate 21 more transformations, like this:

5) f(x) = log₁₀(x) - 3 (vertical translation 3 units down)

6) f(x) = 10log₁₀(x) + 7 (vertical translation 7 units up and vertical scaling by a factor of 10)

7) f(x) = 2log₁₀(x + 9) (vertical sacling by a factor of 2 and 9 units translation to the left)

8) f(x) = 5log₁₀(x - 5) - 5 (vertical sacling by 5 and 5 units translation to the right and 5 units down)

9) f(x) = log₁₀(x) - 1 (vertical translation 1 unit down)

10) f(x) = 30log₁₀(x) (vertical scaling by a factor of 30)

11) f(x) = 10log₁₀(x + 2)

12) f(x) = 3log₁₀(x) - 1

13) f(x) = (1/2)log₁₀(x) + 7

14) f(x) = log₁₀(x - 18)

15) f(x) = 7log₁₀(x + 3)

16) f(x) = log₁₀(x) - 21

17) f(x) = 2log₁₀(x + 10) - 5

18) f(x) = 4log₁₀(x)

19) f(x) = log₁₀(x - 8)

20) f(x) = log₁₀(x) + 33

21) f(x) = -log₁₀(x)

22) f(x) = -4log₁₀(x) - 3

23) f(x) = 9log₁₀(x) + 8

24) f(x) = -7log₁₀(x + 3)

25) f(x) = 3log₁₀(x - 4) + 11
