Answer:

we conclude that the given graph is a cubic function and is translated by shifting 2 units to the left.

Thus, the graph is shifted left by 2 units.

The graph of the parent function f(x)=x³ and f(x+2) = f(x+2)² is shown below.

Explanation:

If we carefully analyze the given graph, it is clear that the given graph is the transformed image of form f(x+b) of parent cubic graph f(x) = x³.

In this graph, the function f(x) has been moved over 2 units to the left.

In order to shift a function 2 units to the left, we need to add '2' inside the function's input.

In other words,

f(x+2) = f(x+2)² means the function f(x) is shifted 2 units to the left.

Therefore, we conclude that the given graph is a cubic function and is translated by shifting 2 units to the left.

Thus, the graph is shifted left by 2 units.

The graph diagram of the parent function f(x)=x³ and f(x+2) = f(x+2)² is shown

below.

  • The red graph is representing f(x)=x³
  • The blue graph is representing f(x+2) = f(x+2)²
