What is the vertical shift in f (x) = loga 8

Question

%) as compared to its parent function? (1 poin

Answer 1

The parent function for logarithmic functions is f(x) = log base a (x).

In the given function f(x) = loga 8, the base 'a' is not specified. However, we can still analyze the vertical shift in comparison to its parent function.

The parent function f(x) = log base a (x) has a vertical shift of 0, since the graph passes through the point (1,0).

In the given function f(x) = loga 8, since no x-term is present and the logarithm function is defined only for positive values of x, the graph of this function will be a vertical line passing through the point (8,0). This means that there is no vertical shift as compared to its parent function.
