which of the following is the graph of y=log12 (x−12) + 12 log2(4x2 − 4x + 1)
This is not a standard expression whose graph we know,
y=log12 (x−12) + 12 log2(4x2 − 4x + 1)
so,let's simplify the given expression first.
y=log12 (x−12) + 12 log2(4x2 − 4x + 1)
= log12 (x−12) + 12 log2(2x − 1)2
= log12 (x−12) + 12 log2 4{ x − 12)2}
y=log12 (x−12) + 12 log24 + 12log2(x − 12)2
= - log2 (x−12) + 12 log24 + log2(x − 12)22 { log−x1y = −logxy }
=−log2 (x−12) + log22 + log2(x − 12)
log2k is defined only when k > 0
Above expression is defined only when x−12 > 0
Thus , y = −log2 (x−12) + 1 + log2(x − 12) = 1
so ,the graph of y=log12 (x−12) + 12 log2(4x2 − 4x + 1)
Domain of the graph is x − 12 > 0
x > 12
x ϵ (12,∞)
Range of the graph is 1
R ϵ { 1 }
so,the graph is
