Question

Your friend hands you a graph of the performance statistics of the latest powerboat to be produced. He says, “I know this graph is f(x) = –2(x – 4)3 – 3 but I can’t remember how it is related to the graph of x3.” Explain to your friend how the graph f(x) is a translation of the graph x3.

Answer 6

sorry i was working it out on paper :p

Well you just need to condense the function a little by distributing the 3
as you would see you will get f(x) = -2(3x - 12) - 3
Now then -2 would be a change in slope,
the -12 would be a shift left or right
and the -3 would be a shift up or down

Answer 7

or wait is the question \[f(x) = –2(x – 4)^3 – 3 \]

Answer 8

yes
