Answer the following with respect to the standard logarithmic function y=log⁡ax (a>0, a≠1)y=\log_a x\,(a>0,\,a\neq1) whose graph is drawn on the usual Cartesian plane. (i) State its domain and range. (ii) Write the coordinates of the point where the graph meets the xx-axis. (iii) Write the equation of its vertical asymptote. (iv) List the nature of the graph (increasing/decreasing and concavity) separately for the two cases a>1a>1 and 0<a<10<a<1. Explain your answer in one or two sentences for each case.
