Work Step by Step

Let us consider the following functions: $\begin{align} & {{f}_{1}}\left( x \right)={{\left( x+2 \right)}^{3}} \\ & {{f}_{2}}\left( x \right)={{x}^{3}} \\ & {{f}_{3}}\left( x \right)={{x}^{3}}+6{{x}^{2}} \\ & {{f}_{4}}\left( x \right)={{x}^{3}}+6{{x}^{2}}+12x \\ \end{align}$ ${{f}_{5}}\left( x \right)={{x}^{3}}+6{{x}^{2}}+12x+8$ The graph of the function ${{f}_{2}}\left( x \right)={{x}^{3}}$ has the same shape as the graph of the function ${{f}_{1}}\left( x \right)={{\left( x+2 \right)}^{3}}$, but is shifted 2 units toward the left. The graph of the function ${{f}_{3}}\left( x \right)={{x}^{3}}+6{{x}^{2}}$ is closer to the graph of the function ${{f}_{1}}\left( x \right)={{\left( x+2 \right)}^{3}}$. The graph of the function ${{f}_{4}}\left( x \right)={{x}^{3}}+6{{x}^{2}}+12x $ is approaching closer to the graph of the function ${{f}_{1}}\left( x \right)={{\left( x+2 \right)}^{3}}$ in comparison to the graphs of the functions ${{f}_{2}}\left( x \right)={{x}^{3}}$ and ${{f}_{3}}\left( x \right)={{x}^{3}}+6{{x}^{2}}$. And the graph of the function ${{f}_{5}}\left( x \right)={{x}^{3}}+6{{x}^{2}}+12x+8$ coincides with the graph of the function ${{f}_{1}}\left( x \right)={{\left( x+2 \right)}^{3}}$ . That is, the graphs of the two functions are the same. So, the graphs of the functions ${{f}_{2}}\left( x \right)={{x}^{3}},{{f}_{3}}\left( x \right)={{x}^{3}}+6{{x}^{2}},{{f}_{4}}\left( x \right)={{x}^{3}}+6{{x}^{2}}+12x $ are approaching to the graph of the function ${{f}_{1}}\left( x \right)={{\left( x+2 \right)}^{3}}$, while the graph of a function ${{f}_{5}}\left( x \right)={{x}^{3}}+6{{x}^{2}}+12x+8$ is the same as the graph of the function ${{f}_{1}}\left( x \right)={{\left( x+2 \right)}^{3}}$.
