Answer:

A) [First try is correct for all U1 to U4]

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Trying each option

(let x = 1,2,3,4) since it goes from U1 to U4 (Geometric sequence)

A.) 10(-4/5)^x

10(-4/5)^1 = -8

10(-4/5)^2 = 6.4

10(-4/5)^3 = -5.12

10(-4/5)^4 = 4.096

$\bf f(x)=log\left( \cfrac{x}{8} \right)\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
\textit{x-intercept, setting f(x)=0}
\\\\
0=log\left( \cfrac{x}{8} \right)\implies 0=log(x)-log(8)\implies log(8)=log(x)
\\\\
8=x\\\\
-----------------------------$

$\bf \textit{y-intercept, is setting x=0}\\
\textit{wait just a second!, a logarithm never gives 0}
\\\\
log_{{ a}}{{ b}}=y \iff {{ a}}^y={{ b}}\qquad\qquad 
% exponential notation 2nd form
{{ a}}^y={{ b}}\iff log_{{ a}}{{ b}}=y 
\\\\
\textit{now, what exponent for "a" can give you a zero? none}\\
\textit{so, there's no y-intercept, because "x" is never 0 in }\frac{x}{8}\\
\textit{that will make the fraction to 0, and a}\\
\textit{logarithm will never give that, 0 or a negative}\\\\
$

$\bf -----------------------------\\\\
domain
\\\\
\textit{since whatever value "x" is, cannot make the fraction}\\
\textit{negative or become 0, , then the domain is }x\ \textgreater \ 0\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
range
\\\\
\textit{those values for "x", will spit out, pretty much}\\
\textit{any "y", including negative exponents, thus}\\
\textit{range is }(-\infty,+\infty)$

$\bf f(x)=\cfrac{3}{x^4}$ if the denominator has a higher degree than the numerator, the horizontal asymptote is y = 0, or the x-axis,

in this case, the numerator has a degree of 0, the denominator has 4, thus y = 0

vertical asymptotes occur when the denominator is 0, that is, when the fraction becomes undefined, and for this one, that occurs at $x^4=0\implies x=0$ or the y-axis

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

now on 3)

$\bf f(x)=\cfrac{1}{x}$

now, let's see some transformations templates

$\bf \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \textit{function transformations}
\\ \quad \\

\begin{array}{rllll}
% left side templates
f(x)=&{{ A}}({{ B}}x+{{ C}})+{{ D}}
\\ \quad \\
y=&{{ A}}({{ B}}x+{{ C}})+{{ D}}
\\ \quad \\
f(x)=&{{ A}}\sqrt{{{ B}}x+{{ C}}}+{{ D}}
\\ \quad \\
f(x)=&{{ A}}\mathbb{R}^{{{ B}}x+{{ C}}}+{{ D}}
\end{array}$

$\bf \begin{array}{llll}
% right side info
\bullet \textit{ stretches or shrinks horizontally by } {{ A}}\cdot {{ B}}\\
\bullet \textit{ horizontal shift by }\frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\\
\qquad if\ \frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\textit{ is negative, to the right}\\
\qquad if\ \frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\textit{ is positive, to the left}\\
\bullet \textit{ vertical shift by }{{ D}}\\
\qquad if\ {{ D}}\textit{ is negative, downwards}\\
\qquad if\ {{ D}}\textit{ is positive, upwards}
\end{array}$

now, let's take a peek at g(x)

$\bf \begin{array}{lcllll}
g(x)=&-&\cfrac{1}{x}&+3\\
&\uparrow &&\uparrow \\
&\textit{upside down}&&
\begin{array}{llll}
\textit{vertical shift up}\\
\textit{by 3 units}
\end{array}
\end{array}$
