To graph: The given function and to analyze it.
The domain is (1, ∞) .
The range is (−∞, ∞) .
It is a continuous function.
Always decreasing.
Not bounded.
No local extrema.
No symmetry.
No horizontal asymptotes.
The vertical asymptote is x=1 .
End behavior: limx→∞f(x)=−∞
Given:
f(x)=−ln(x−1)
Concept used:
The graph of −f(x) is obtained by reflecting the graph of f(x) across the x -axis.
The graph of f(x−k) is obtained by shifting the graph of f(x) to the right side by k units.
Calculation:
Start with the graph of y=lnx , then reflect across the x -axis to get the graph of y=−ln(x) , and then shift 1 unit right to get the graph of y=−ln(x−1) .
So, the graph of the given function is
The given function is well defined for all real numbers greater than 1, therefore the domain is (1, ∞) .
The range is (−∞, ∞) .
From the graph, it can be seen that the curve has no breaks or jumps; therefore it is a continuous function.
From the graph, it can be seen that the value of y decreases as the value of x increases from 1 to ∞ .
Therefore, the function is always decreasing.
The function is not bounded.
There are no turning points for the given curve, so there is no local extrema.
The curve is neither symmetric with the x -axis nor with the y -axis.
So the curve has no symmetry.
There are no horizontal asymptotes.
The vertical asymptote is x=1 .
End behavior:
From the graph, it can be seen that y→−∞ as x→∞ . So,
limx→∞f(x)=−∞
