Please use " ^ " to denote exponentiation: 2x^2 − 5x − 3

Rather than try to factor this from scratch, test the given factors in the possible answers. Looking at the fourth possible answer (D), we see that two criteria are satisfied: (1) the product of +1 and -3 is -3, which equals the third term of the given polynomial, and (2) +1x - 6x = -5x, which equals the second term. Thus,

2x^2 − 5x − 3 = (2x + 1)(x − 3)

describe the transformations that produce the graph of g(x)=1/2(x-4)^3+5 from the graph of the parent function f(x)=x^3. Give th

SSSSS [86.1K]

We have been given a parent function $f(x)=x^{3}$ and we need to transform this function into $g(x)=\frac{1}{2}(x-4)^{3}+5$ .

We will be required to use three transformations to obtain the required function from $f(x)=x^{3}$ .

First transformation would be to shift the graph to the right by 4 units. Upon using this transformation, the function will change to $g(x)=(x-4)^{3}$ .

Second transformation would be to compress the graph vertically by half. Upon using the second transformation, the new function becomes $g(x)=\frac{1}{2}(x-4)^{3}$ .

Third transformation would be to shift the graph upwards by 5 units. Upon using this last transformation, we get the new function as $g(x)=\frac{1}{2}(x-4)^{3}+5$ .
