### Mathematics - Logarithmic Functions

#### Problem 2: Analysis and Graphing of Logarithmic Functions

**Given:**  
The points \((1, 0)\) and \((2, 1)\) are on the graph of \( f(x) = \log_2 x \).

**Part a)**  
**Objective:** Find the exact coordinates of two other points that are on the graph of \( f(x) = \log_2 x \).

**Solution:**
To find additional points on the graph of \( f(x) = \log_2 x \), we can select \( x \) values for which the logarithm base 2 is easy to compute. For example:

- When \( x = 4 \):
  \[ f(4) = \log_2 4 = 2 \]
  Hence, the point \((4, 2)\) is on the graph.

- When \( x = \frac{1}{2} \):
  \[ f\left( \frac{1}{2} \right) = \log_2 \left( \frac{1}{2} \right) = -1 \]
  Hence, the point \(\left( \frac{1}{2}, -1 \right)\) is on the graph.

So, the two additional points are \( (4, 2) \) and \( \left( \frac{1}{2}, -1 \right) \).

**Part b)**  
**Objective:** Using transformations, sketch a graph of \( g(x) = 3 \log_2 (x + 1) \). Draw and label your asymptote.

**Steps for Transformation:**
The function \( g(x) = 3 \log_2 (x + 1) \) can be derived from \( f(x) = \log_2 x \) by the following transformations:

1. **Horizontal Shift:** The term \( (x + 1) \) indicates a shift left by 1 unit.
2. **Vertical Stretch:** The coefficient 3 before the logarithm function indicates a vertical stretch by a factor of 3.

**Asymptote:**
The original function \( f(x) = \log_2 x \) has a vertical asymptote at \( x = 0 \). After the horizontal shift by 1 unit to the left, the asympt
