CCGPS AA Unit 4 Lesson 2
This example demonstrates how to graph the logarithmic functions c(x) = log₂(x + 1) and d(x) = log₂x on the same coordinate plane. Key mathematical concepts include the properties and graph characteristics of logarithmic functions. Using GeoGebra commands such as Sequence, LaTeX, Vector, and Text, the changes in the function graphs can be clearly illustrated. Suitable for high school mathematics education and learning.

AI Drawing Prompt Reference
Draw the graphs of logarithmic functions c(x) = log₂(x + 1) and d(x) = log₂x on a coordinate plane. Show that c(x) is d(x) shifted left by 1 unit. Highlight their vertical asymptotes at x=0 and x=-1 respectively. Mark the x-intercepts (1,0) for d(x) and (0,0) for c(x). Indicate both functions increase as x approaches positive infinity, and their ranges cover all real numbers.
