In your lab, a substance's temperature has been observed to follow the function T(x) = (x − 2)3 + 8. The turning point of the graph is where the substance changes from a solid to a liquid. Using complete sentences in your written answer, explain to your fellow scientists how to find the turning point of this function. Hint: The turning point of the graph is similar to the vertex of a quadratic function.

Essay question, already know the turning point is (2,8). But outside of it being graphed how do you find the turning point?
