Question

How do you graph `y=log(x+6)`?

Answer 1

Shift the `y = log(x)` graph 6 units to the left.

Explanation:

In general, the graph of `y = f(x-a)` is the same as that of `y=f(x)`, except that it is shifted along the `x` axis by `a`.

In case you have forgotten what the `y = log(x)` looks like, it is what you get when you reflect the `y=e^x` graph about the line `y=x`. (This works for all invertible functions and their inverse functions)
