The Cubing Function

Question 6 • (OC27) MATH COLL ALGEBRA-1200710-S1-Degele-VOL7006P

The graph of the parent function f(x) = x3 is translated to form the graph of g(x) = (x − 4)3 − 7. The point (0, 0) on the graph of f(x) corresponds to which point on the graph of g(x)?

Answer
A
(4, −7)
B
(−4, −7)
C
(4, 7)
D
(−4, 7)

Explanation

In g(x) = (x − 4)³ − 7, subtracting 4 inside the function shifts the graph 4 units to the right, and subtracting 7 outside shifts it 7 units down. Therefore, the point (0, 0) moves to (4, −7), choice A.
