Graph $y=\log_5(x+9)-5$.

1. What are the domain and range of the graph?

   Answer (a):

   D: $x<−9$ R: all real numbers

2. Where are the intercepts and the locator point?

   Hint (b):

   let $x = 0$ to find the $y$-intercept and
   $y = 0$ to find the $x$-intercept.

3. Write the equation of the inverse.

   Answer (c):

   $y=5^{(x+5)}−9$

4. What are the domain and range of the inverse?

   Hint (d):

   If you know the domain and range of the function you also know it for the inverse.
