Question

Explain the graphing directions for the rules given below (x, y) = (x + 6, y – 3)

Answer 1

Since both terms are perfect cubes, factor using the difference of cubes formula,
a
3
−
b
3
=
(
a
−
b
)
(
a
2
+
a
b
+
b
2
)
a
3
-
b
3
=
(
a
-
b
)
(
a
2
+
a
b
+
b
2
)
where
a
=
x
2
a
=
x
2
and
b
=
y
b
=
y
.
(
x
2
−
y
)
(
(
x
2
)
2
+
x
2
y
+
y
2
)
(
x
2
-
y
)
(
(
x
2
)
2
+
x
2
y
+
y
2
)
Multiply the exponents in
(
x
2
)
2
(
x
2
)
2
.
