Answer

Graph of $ f(x)=\sqrt[3]{x}-3 $

Work Step by Step

Substituting values of $x$ in the given function, $ f(x)=\sqrt[3]{x}-3 $, results to \begin{array}{l|r} \text{If }x=-1: & \text{If }x=0 \\\\ f(x)=y=\sqrt[3]{x}-3 & f(x)=y=\sqrt[3]{x}-3 \\ y=\sqrt[3]{-1}-3 & y=\sqrt[3]{0}-3 \\ y=-1-3 & y=0-3 \\ y=-4 & y=-3 \end{array} \begin{array}{l|r} \text{If }x=1: & \text{If }x=8 \\\\ f(x)=y=\sqrt[3]{x}-3 & f(x)=y=\sqrt[3]{x}-3 \\ y=\sqrt[3]{1}-3 & y=\sqrt[3]{8}-3 \\ y=1-3 & y=2-3 \\ y=-2 & y=-1 .\end{array} Connecting the points $ \left(-1,-4\right), \left(0,-3\right), \left(1,-2\right), \text{ and } \left(8,-1\right) $ with a curve gives the graph of $ f(x)=\sqrt[3]{x}-3 $.
