How do I describe the movement, relative to the graph of the indicated function?

Question

This is in the exponential and logarithmic part of my textbook.

f(x) = ln x - 6; relative to f(x) = ln x

Answer 1

Hi Abigail,

For starters let's rename the functions to avoid confusion. You have f(x) identified with two different functions.

So let's call g(x) =ln(x)-6 and f(x)=ln(x)

Notice that g(x)+6 = f(x) which tells you how to move g(x) to get f(x) just add 6.
