Q. Write the equation for g g that represents the indicated transformation of the graph f f . f(x)=logx f(x)=\log x ; translation 33 units to the left and 22 units up, followed by a reflection in the x \mathrm{x} axis
  1. Replace xx with (x+3)(x + 3): To translate the function 33 units to the left, we replace xx with (x+3)(x + 3) in the function f(x)=logxf(x) = \log x. This gives us the intermediate function h(x)=log(x+3)h(x) = \log(x + 3).
  2. Translate 22 units up: Next, we translate the function h(x)=log(x+3)h(x) = \log(x + 3) 22 units up by adding 22 to the function. This gives us the intermediate function i(x)=log(x+3)+2i(x) = \log(x + 3) + 2.
  3. Reflect in x-axis: Finally, to reflect the function i(x)=log(x+3)+2i(x) = \log(x + 3) + 2 in the x-axis, we multiply the function by 1-1. This gives us the final function g(x)=log(x+3)2g(x) = -\log(x + 3) - 2.
