graph{log(x-1)/log(6)-5 [-1.75, 18.25, -9.28, 0.72]}
Explanation:
The first step would be to know how the basic
graph{log(x) [-2, 18, -5.56, 4.44]}
Notice two certain coordinate pairs:
As you may know
If we were to graph
Now to graph your requested function of
We simply apply a phase-shift of 1 unit to the right and 5 units down. We know this because of simple transformation concepts concerning functions.
So we get:
graph{log(x-1)/log(6)-5 [-1.75, 18.25, -9.28, 0.72]}
