Question

Which of the following will generate a graph that is 3 units to the left of y = x3?

Answer 1

Answer:

(3) y=(x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not sure what is the parent function, but in most graphs if you will shift it to the left or right (negative sign or positive sign, respectively), it will be inside a parenthesis and the opposite sign is the real movement.

For a cubic function these will be the movements:

f(x)=(x+/-h)^3+/-k

Only the opposite sign of h will be the real movement, while k's sign will automatically indicate the correct movement.

h= x-axis movement (horizontal, inside of the parenthesis in the equation)

k= y-axis movement (vertical, outside of the parenthesis in the equation)

Hope it helps
