Your friend hands you a graph of the engine power statistics of a race car. He says, “I know this graph is f(x) = –3(x + 4)6 – 8 but I can’t remember how it is related to the graph of x4.” Explain to your friend how the graph f(x) is a translation of the graph x4

@hero help please

:(

hero · Answer

I think there are some symbols missing from your equations. Try writing them out using the draw feature.

here_to_help15 · Answer

thats why i asked for full question

anonymous · Answer

no, im sorry thats the whole question

anonymous · Answer

@hero

here_to_help15 · Answer

is it possible for you to take a picc of the problem

anonymous · Answer

no sorry

umm are you on a online school?

anonymous · Answer

yes

$\ f(x) = –3(x + 4)^6 – 8 $ ?

here_to_help15 · Answer

cool i am on 1.. 2 so uhh is it connections accademy

anonymous · Answer

i really need help :( ,not questions about my schooling

here_to_help15 · Answer

true true true

aum · Answer

Start with the graph $\Large f(x) = x^4$ and arrive at 
$\Large \ f(x) = –3(x + 4)^6 – 8$

here_to_help15 · Answer

@aum will help

anonymous · Answer

how would i do that @aum ?

aum · Answer

I think one of your exponents may be incorrect.
It is either x^4   and  -3(x+4)^4 - 8    (not (x+4)^6)  or
x^6 (not x^4) and -3(x+4)^6 - 8  
Which is it?

anonymous · Answer

its x^4 and -3(x+4)^6-8

anonymous · Answer

i just have to explain how they are related

here_to_help15 · Answer

:( sorry

aum · Answer

"Explain to your friend how the graph f(x) is a translation of the graph x^4"

If f(x) has 6 as an exponent then you cannot get that by translation of x^4

anonymous · Answer

so how would i respond to the question? @aum

aum · Answer

Can you post a screenshot of the question?

anonymous · Answer

no :/ im using a desktop

the_fizicx99 · Answer

What...

aum · Answer

If f(x) = –3(x + 4)^6 – 8   then it CANNOT be obtained by translation of x^4

If f(x) = –3(x + 4)^4 – 8   then it CAN be obtained by translation of x^4

anonymous · Answer

i posted the whole question word for word so is it a typo?

here_to_help15 · Answer

she is on an online school

hero · Answer

Could be either a typo or a trick question.

hero · Answer

What @aum said is correct.

here_to_help15 · Answer

thats y she cant take a pic:P

anonymous · Answer

@aum @hero how would i answer it then? & how do i explain a translation?

hero · Answer

You may not be able to take a pic, but you can use a "snipping tool" to post a .png file.

aum · Answer

f(x) = –3(x + 4)^6 – 8 is NOT a translation of the graph x^4 (assuming no typo in the question).
