Logarithmic Graph
1. The problem asks us to graph the logarithmic function $$g(x) = -\log_4 x + 1$$ and plot two points as well as the vertical asymptote.
2. The logarithmic function $$\log_4 x$$ has domain $$x > 0$$ and a vertical asymptote at $$x=0$$ because logarithm is undefined for non-positive values.
3. The function $$g(x) = -\log_4 x + 1$$ flips the graph of $$\log_4 x$$ vertically (due to the negative sign) and shifts it up by 1 unit.
4. To plot two points, choose convenient $$x$$ values in the domain $$x>0$$.
5. Let $$x=1$$, then:
$$g(1) = -\log_4 1 + 1 = -0 + 1 = 1$$
Point: $$(1, 1)$$
6. Let $$x=4$$, then:
$$g(4) = -\log_4 4 + 1 = -1 + 1 = 0$$
Point: $$(4, 0)$$
7. The vertical asymptote is the line $$x=0$$.
8. The domain of $$g$$ is $$x > 0$$ (all positive real numbers).
9. The range of $$g$$ is all real numbers $$(-\infty, +\infty)$$ because the logarithm function extends infinitely as $$x$$ approaches 0 from the right and as $$x$$ becomes very large.
Final answers:
- Two points: $$(1,1)$$ and $$(4,0)$$
- Vertical asymptote: $$x=0$$
- Domain: $$x > 0$$
- Range: $$(-\infty, +\infty)$$
