32. = () = 1 + − ⇒ − = − 1 ⇒ − = ln( − 1) ⇒
= −ln( − 1). Interchange and : = −ln( − 1).
So −1 () = −ln( − 1). From the graph, we see that and −1 are
reflections about the line = .
33. Reflect the graph of about the line = . The points (−1−2), (1−1),
(22), and (33) on are reflected to (−2−1), (−11), (22), and (33)
on −1 .
34. Reflect the graph of about the line = .

2 = 1 − 2 ⇒ 2 = 1 − 2 ⇒ =
1 − 2 . So
−1 () =

We see that −1 and are the same
function.
(b) The graph of is the portion of the circle 2 + 2 = 1 with 0 ≤ ≤ 1 and
0 ≤ ≤ 1 (quartercircle in the first quadrant). The graph of is symmetric
with respect to the line = , so its reflection about = is itself, that is,
−1 = .
36. (a) = () =

same function.
(b) The graph of is symmetric with respect to the line = , so its reflection
about = is itself, that is, −1 = .
37. (a) It is defined as the inverse of the exponential function with base , that is, log = ⇔ = .

38. (a) The natural logarithm is the logarithm with base , denoted ln.
(b) The common logarithm is the logarithm with base 10, denoted log.
