what does the graph of lnx^2 look like?

 

[dextercioby]

Is that \ln x^{2} ot (\ln x)^{2} ??If so,why don't u graph it??Do u know how??

it is lnx^2 (the first one) and i can't graph it. i don't know how. I've found all of the info ex. domain, asymptotes,intervals of increase/decrease, local min/max, concavity, and Inflection points

i can do those steps but have difficulty graphing functions

(and no graphing calc to check solutions)

If you know what \ln x looks like, you can easily graph \ln x^2, since \ln x^2=2\ln x.

If you don't know what \ln x looks like, it's the graph of e^x when mirrored through the line y=x, because they are the inverse functions of each other.

If you don't know what e^x looks like..., well you should.

i do...but is it lnx just stretched by 2?
