Your friend hands you a graph of the performance statistics of the newest car to roll off the assembly line. He says "I know this is a translated graph of either x3 or x4, but I can't figure out which one." Using complete sentences, explain to your friend how to tell if it is an even or odd function, and how to determine the amount the graph has been translated.

Question

You'd compare to a standard x^3 or x^4 and look to see the translation.

agent0smith · Answer

You'd look. At the graphs.

anonymous · Answer

is that the answer to the problem though?

anonymous · Answer

i order to see the amount the graph was translated, i look for the rate of change/slope. is that f both graphs then compare. am i right? @agent0smith

anonymous · Answer

@agent0smith ?

agent0smith · Answer

You wouldn't look at the slope. You'd look at the location of the graph, like this: https://www.google.com/search?q=x%5E3%2C+(x-5)%5E3+%2B+4&oq=x%5E3%2C+(x-5)%5E3+%2B+4&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l5.10755j0j7&sourceid=chrome&espv=210&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8#q=x%5E3%2C+(x-10)%5E3+%2B+100&safe=off
