John says that the logarithmic function g(x) = ln(x - 2) + 5 is translated 5 units right and 2 units down based on the function f(x) = ln (x).

His teacher tells him that his answer is incorrect, but he cannot figure out why. Can you explain his error and tell him what the correct answer should be?

the Correct answer is; "His error is that he translated 5 units right and 2 units down. the correct way is for the graph to translate 5 units up and 2 units to the right."
