For the parent function y = 3/-x, what effect does the values h -4 have on the graph?

OpenStudy (surana):

Technically, it should look like this: \[\sqrt[3]{x}\]

OpenStudy (surana):

Possible answers are: A: Horizontal shift of 4 units to the right. B: Horizontal shift of 4 units to the left. C: Vertical shift of 4 units up. D: Vertical shift of 4 units down.

Just testing.

OpenStudy (surana):

Testing to see if they're there, not test-test. I know the rules.

h represents a `horizontal shift`. a positive h value is a shift to the right, a negative h value is a shift to the left.

OpenStudy (surana):

Oh. Hi! This thing was left untouched so long I went to go work on other things. Thanks for showing up! So, what do we do for this one?

OpenStudy (surana):

So it's a negative shift, so it goes 4 in the left, right?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

4 to the left, correct :)

OpenStudy (surana):

Thank you. So it would be B, right?
