Question

How do you graph `f(x) = log (x) + 4`?

Answer 1

Explanation below.

Explanation:

Simply graph the function `g(x) = logx`

graph{logx [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

then, shift it upwards `4` units:

graph{logx + 4 [-9.67, 10.33, -2.36, 7.64]}

In general, for any function `f`, the graph of the function `h(x) = f(x) + c`, where `c` is a constant, is the graph of `f`, shifted upwards `c` degrees. (If `c` is negative, it means the shift is downwards instead)
