Answer 1

@SolomonZelman

Answer 2

@mathstudent55 can you help me with this?

Answer 3

Assuming this is supposed to be just a vertical shift (even though they don't seem to be curved identically)
G(X) is a 3 units down shift, From f(x)

Answer 4

V units down shift from f(x)=x

f(x)=x-V

Answer 5

x-3?

Answer 6

f(x)= x^3

to shift f(x) 3 units down, you make it ?

Answer 7

-x^3?

Answer 8

Lets say if I had f(x)=x^5 and I had to shift it 10 units down, I would say

f(x)=x^5 - 10

Answer 9

So to shift f(x)=x^3 THREE UNITS DOWN, what would I write ?

Answer 10

-3x?

Answer 11

x^3 doesn't change.

Answer 12

o

Answer 13

you are just subtracting 3 from x^3

Answer 14

x^3-3

Answer 15

Yeah, so g(x)=x^3-x

(don't put in the g(x) put in just the x^3-3 )

Answer 16

thanks again for explaining

Answer 17

Anytime ! The main thing is that you got it :)
