Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Original Function

The original function given is \( y = \log(x) \).

Step 2: Determine the Translation

The function is translated 1 unit to the right and 2 units down. This means we need to adjust the function accordingly:

  • Translating 1 unit to the right: Replace \( x \) with \( x - 1 \).
  • Translating 2 units down: Subtract 2 from the function.
Step 3: Apply the Translation to the Function

Apply the translations to the original function: \[ y = \log(x) \] \[ y = \log(x - 1) - 2 \]

Final Answer

The translated function is \( y = \log(x - 1) - 2 \).
