Question

Write the expression for the function whose graph is the graph of y = x3 but shifted down 4 units and left 5 units.

Answer 1

x = left and right (horizontal)

y  = up and down (vertical)

left is negative, right is positive

so its -5

up is positive, down is negative

so is -4

answer y = (x - 5)3 - 4

hope this helps
