Question

which is the graph of a logarithmic function?

Explanation:

A logarithmic function \(y = \log_{a}(x - h)+k\) (\(a>0,a
eq1\)) has a vertical asymptote. The domain is \(x>h\). The first graph is a parabola (quadratic function \(y = ax^{2}+bx + c\)). The second graph has a shape that resembles the transformation of a logarithmic function \(y=\log_{a}x\) (for \(a > 1\), it is increasing, and as \(x\to0^{+}\), \(y\to-\infty\), which is consistent with the end - behavior of a logarithmic function).

Answer:

The second graph.
