Step-by-step explanation:
The translations of the typical functions are
Where a is the vertical translation,
If a is greater than 1 or less than -1, we have a vertical stretch
If a is between -1 and 1 , we have a vertical compressions or shrink.
If a is negative, we have a negative reflection across the x axis.
If b is greater than 1 or less than -1, we have a horizontal compression or shrink
If b is between -1 and 1, we have a horizontal stretch
If b is negative, we have a reflection about the y axis,
If c is negative, we have a translation to the right c units
If c is positive, we have a translation to the left c units
If d is positive, we have a translation upward d units
If d is negative, we have a translation downward d units.
Here in this problem, our parent function is x^3.
So I would do the following transformations.
- Reflect about the x axis
- Vertical Shrink by a factor of 1/2
- Horizontal Shrink by a factor of 3
- Shift to the left 4 units
- Shift downward 8 units.
