$\log (15)$ .

$\log (15)$

$\log (15)$

Step 4.3

Convert

$\log (15)$ to decimal.

$y = 1.17609125$

$y = 1.17609125$

Step 5

The log function can be graphed using the vertical asymptote at

$x = 0$ and the points

$(2, 1), (1, 0.69897), (3, 1.17609125)$ .

Vertical Asymptote:

$x = 0$

$\begin{array}{c} x & y \\ 1 & 0.699 \\ 2 & 1 \\ 3 & 1.176 \end{array}$
