Chapter 2 - 2.5 - Transformations of Functions - 2.5 Exercises - Page 211: 24

Answer

a) $f(x)=x^3$ b) Horizontal shift one unit to the left and reflect across the $x$-axis c) See graph d) $g(x)=-f(x+1)$

Work Step by Step

We are given the function: $g(x)=-(x+1)^3$ a) The parent function is: $f(x)=x^3$ b) Horizontally shift $f(x)$ one unit to the left to get $a(x)=(x+1)^3$. Reflect $a(x)$ across the $x$-axis to get $g(x)=-(x+1)^3$. c) Graph the transformations: d) Use function notation to write $g$ in terms of $f$: $g(x)=-f(x+1)$
