The Cubing Function — Quiz

Question 7 • Algebraic Reasoning

The graph of the parent function f of x is equal to x cubed is translated to form the graph of g of x is equal to x minus 4 cubed minus 7 The point 0 comma 0 on the graph of f of x corresponds to which point on the graph of g of x ?

Answer
A
4 comma 7
B
negative 4 comma 7
C
4 comma negative 7
D
negative 4 comma negative 7

Explanation

The function g(x) = (x − 4)^3 − 7 shifts the graph of f(x) = x^3 four units to the right and seven units down. So the point (0, 0) moves to (0 + 4, 0 − 7) = (4, −7), which is choice C.
