$\"\"$

\

(a)

\

The function is $\"\"$ .

\

The parent function of the function is $\"\"$ .

\

Domain of the the parent function $\"\"$ is $\"\"$ , which means $\"\"$ .

\

Therefore,

\

$\"\"$

\

Domain of the function $\"\"$ is $\"\"$ .

\

Range of the parent function $\"\"$ is $\"\"$ .

\

Therefore, range of the function $\"\"$ is $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

(b)

\

Consider the function as $\"\"$ .

\

Find the $\"\"$ intercept of the function by equating the $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

Property of natural logarithm: $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

The $\"\"$ intercept of the function $\"\"$ is $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

Graph the function $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

(a) Domain of the function $\"\"$ is $\"\"$ and range is $\"\"$ .

\

(b) The $\"\"$ intercept of the function $\"\"$ is $\"\"$ .

\
