First we have to rewrite this function.Instead of :^3 sqrt (...) we can write : (...)^(1/3). f ( x ) = ( 27 x - 81 ) ^(1/3) - 5 = ( 27 * ( x - 3 ) ) ^(1/3) - 5 = = 3 * ( x - 3 )^(1/3) - 5 And this makes it easy to graph a translation.The parent function is y = x^(1/3). The zero of this function is ( 0, 0 ). Then it will be stretched vertically by a factor of 2 and translated: 3 units right and 5 units down.
