9)

Answer the following questions about the graph of the given logarithmic equation?  Check the answer by graphing the parent function and the given function on a calculator or the graphing calculator at this website www.desmos.com.  (Note:  To make a log entry at this website, click on the Functions button, and then the Calc tab.)

y = log5 (x – 3) + 2

          (a)  How does the given graph compare to the parent function, y = log5 x ?  Explain any changes in shift, compression, and reflection.
          (b)  What is the domain of the function?
          (c)  What is the range of the function?
          (d)  What is the vertical asymptote of the function?
