Solution
The first step in solving 5 problem number 46 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Suppose that f1x2 = log2 1x - 22 + 1. (a) Graph f. (b) What is f 162? What point is on the graph of f ? (c) Solve f1x2 = 4. What point is on the graph of f ? (d) Based on the graph drawn in part (a), solve f1x2 7 0. (e) Find f -1 1x2. Graph f -1 on the same Cartesian plane as f.
From the textbook chapter Exponential and Logarithmic Functions you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
