Graphing of a logarithmic function

I am facing difficulty in graphing this logarithmic function:

some constant= y + log x

what all steps are required to graph such a function?
 
Mathematics news on Phys.org
Solve for y, then use this equation to calculate corresponding y values for a handful of x values.
 
thanks chris for your reply,but won't it take time to solve it through this method?

what i mean is-we know the graph of y=log x
also,the equation of logarithmic function can be written as:

some constant-log x= y,but by plotting it through putting various values of x,won't it be time consuming?...can't we simply visualise its graph by knowing how y=logx looks like and then, shifting the graph to the left by that constant value?
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
Thread 'Imaginary Pythagorus'
I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
