Hi I was brought upto this questiong!
sketch the graph of log any log function and the sketch must have at least Mama, Papa, and one child?

what does it mean by Mama, Papa and one Child!

You please post the question properly, and look whether the problem is suit enough to be put here. I don't want to misunderstand what the question means. I can't figure out from the above post, what is the question and what are the things you want to comment about it.

You clearly have a teacher with a sense of humor- I feel sorry for you.


Unless, you are translating this from another language- sometimes technical terms get translated in odd ways.
Possibly they want you to graph y= loga(x) as well as its integral and derivative?

There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
