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 x6.” Explain to your friend how the graph f(x) is a translation of the graph x^6.

I have no idea what I'm doing. It's almost midnight and if I close the window now, I lose my work and fail the assignment. Plzplzplz help
