Explain how to rewrite the function shown in order to determine the transformation of the parent function. Then, describe the transformation of the graph compared to the parent function.

Answer:

Factor −8 from the radicand to rewrite the function as y = −2∛(x + 1/2). This reflects the parent graph over the x-axis, stretches it vertically by a factor of 2, and shifts it 1/2 unit to the left.
