Hello,
f(x)=6x^3+18x²+12x=6x(x²+3x+2)
=6x(x²+x+2x+2)=6x((x(x+1)+2(x+1))
=6x(x+1)(x+2)
Zeros are 0,-1,-2
Plug in x&y use the equation given
To apply the changes to the equation of a vertical stretch of 4 and a translation of 3 units to the right, as well as the correct answer would be choice B.
The reason for this is when you apply a vertical stretch, because it changes the y-values (which causes it to vertically stretch or appear skinnier when graphed), you would multiply 4 to f(x) which would look like 4x^2.
Then, since you have a reflection over the x-axis, you must multiply a -1 to f(x) to reflect it over the x-axis which would result in -4x^2.
Finally, it also asks to shift the graph right 3 which by moving it right, you change the x values meaning you will perform f(x-3) to achieve this (subtract the value from x when you move right, and add the value to x when you move left).
This therefore results in your answer, the new graph would be
g(x)= -4(x-3)^2 or choice B.
