Answer

The equation of the stretched graph is $$y=\frac{8-x^3}{8}$$

Work Step by Step

For $c\gt1$, the graph is scaled: - $y=cf(x)$ - stretched - vertically - factor of $c$ - $y =\frac{1}{c}f(x)$ - compressed - vertically - factor of $c$ - $y=f(cx)$ - compressed - horizontally - factor of $c$ - $y=f(\frac{x}{c})$ - stretched - horizontally - factor of $c$ $$y=1-x^3$$ The graph is STRETCHED - HORIZONTALLY - by a factor of $2$. Therefore, the equation of the new graph is $$y=1-\Big(\frac{x}{2}\Big)^3$$ $$y=1-\frac{x^3}{8}$$ $$y=\frac{8-x^3}{8}$$
