Rewrite the equation by factoring out a - 1 from the exponent to read . From the equation, you can see that the horizontal shift will be to the left 10 units and there will be a reflection over the y-axis. Therefore, reflect the graph of over the y-axis and then shift (move) the reflected graph left 10 units.

From this analysis, it can be concluded that as the base of a logarithmic function increases, the graph approaches the asymptote of x = 0 quicker. Also, the function may increase at a slower rate as the base increases.

In your XY (scatter) graph, right-click the scale of each axis and select Format axis.... In the Format Axis box, select the Axis Options tab, and then check Logarithmic scale.

In mathematics, the logarithm is the inverse function to exponentiation. That means the logarithm of a given number x is the exponent to which another fixed number, the base b, must be raised, to produce that number x.

Whatever is inside the logarithm is called the "argument" of the log. Note that the base in both the exponential equation and the log equation (above) is "b", but that the x and y switch sides when you switch between the two equations.

A logarithmic price scale, also referred to as a "log scale", is a type of scale used on a chart that is plotted such that two equivalent price changes are represented by the same vertical distance on the scale.

From this analysis, it can be concluded that as the base of a logarithmic function increases, the graph approaches the asymptote of x = 0 quicker. Also, the function may increase at a slower rate as the base increases.
