Graphing y = log3^(x+2)

You have entered [src]

          x + 2   
f(x) = log     (3)

f{\left(x \right)} = \log{\left(3 \right)}^{x + 2}

f = log(3)^(x + 2)

The graph of the function

The points of intersection with the X-axis coordinate

Graph of the function intersects the axis X at f = 0
so we need to solve the equation:

\log{\left(3 \right)}^{x + 2} = 0

Solve this equation
Solution is not found,
it's possible that the graph doesn't intersect the axis X

The points of intersection with the Y axis coordinate

The graph crosses Y axis when x equals 0:
substitute x = 0 to log(3)^(x + 2).

\log{\left(3 \right)}^{2}

The result:

f{\left(0 \right)} = \log{\left(3 \right)}^{2}

The point:

(0, log(3)^2)

Extrema of the function

In order to find the extrema, we need to solve the equation

\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)} = 0

(the derivative equals zero),
and the roots of this equation are the extrema of this function:

\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)} =

\log{\left(3 \right)}^{x + 2} \log{\left(\log{\left(3 \right)} \right)} = 0

Solve this equation
Solutions are not found,
function may have no extrema

Inflection points

Let's find the inflection points, we'll need to solve the equation for this

\frac{d^{2}}{d x^{2}} f{\left(x \right)} = 0

(the second derivative equals zero),
the roots of this equation will be the inflection points for the specified function graph:

\frac{d^{2}}{d x^{2}} f{\left(x \right)} =

\log{\left(3 \right)}^{x + 2} \log{\left(\log{\left(3 \right)} \right)}^{2} = 0

Solve this equation
Solutions are not found,
maybe, the function has no inflections

Horizontal asymptotes

Let’s find horizontal asymptotes with help of the limits of this function at x->+oo and x->-oo

\lim_{x \to -\infty} \log{\left(3 \right)}^{x + 2} = 0

Let's take the limit
so,
equation of the horizontal asymptote on the left:

y = 0

\lim_{x \to \infty} \log{\left(3 \right)}^{x + 2} = \infty

Let's take the limit
so,
horizontal asymptote on the right doesn’t exist

Inclined asymptotes

Inclined asymptote can be found by calculating the limit of log(3)^(x + 2), divided by x at x->+oo and x ->-oo

\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\frac{\log{\left(3 \right)}^{x + 2}}{x}\right) = 0

Let's take the limit
so,
inclined coincides with the horizontal asymptote on the right

\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{\log{\left(3 \right)}^{x + 2}}{x}\right) = \infty

Let's take the limit
so,
inclined asymptote on the right doesn’t exist

Even and odd functions

Let's check, whether the function even or odd by using relations f = f(-x) и f = -f(-x).
So, check:

\log{\left(3 \right)}^{x + 2} = \log{\left(3 \right)}^{2 - x}

- No

\log{\left(3 \right)}^{x + 2} = - \log{\left(3 \right)}^{2 - x}

- No
so, the function
not is
neither even, nor odd
