Answer

$\quad H(x)=1-\log_{3}x $.

Work Step by Step

We first locate the graph of $ f(x)=\log_{3}x $ among the six given graphs (from 47-52). The graph of $ f(x)=\log_{3}x $ - nears the negative y axis as x approaches 0 from the right (graphs 49, 52), - constantly rises, and passes through (1,0), (3,1), (9,2) (which is graph 52) The graph 52 is the graph of $ f(x)=\log_{3}x $. This graph (graph 47) is obtained from the graph of $ f(x)$ by: - reflecting about the x axis: $-f(x)$ - and raising it up by 1 unit: $-f(x)+1=1-\log_{3}x $ which is $H(x)=1-\log_{3}x $.
