Question 1 [07 Marks]
Draw the following graph of

y=ln ( 2x ) + 4 using transformations. Start with

the basic increasing logarithmic graph. Give a short description of each

transformation. Draw the line of the asymptote; indicate the x-intercept and the
y-intercept (If it does exist). Fill in an extra coordinate on the final transformed
graph. Label each graph.
