Triangle XYZ is the pre-image with vertex X(-6,-4). Given the algebraic rule for the composition, , what are the coordinates of X’? a. (-4,6) b. (-3,1) c. (-1,11) d. (1,3)

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:

i'm pretty sure the answer is a. decreases with increase in
