Answer:


g(x)=(x-3)^4-6

Explanation:

The parent function is
f(x)=x^4.

We want to transform this function so that its vertex will move from the origin to (3,-6).

In other words, we translate the parent function 3 units to the right and 6 units down,

Let g(x) be the new function then:


g(x)=f(x-3)-6


\implies g(x)=(x-3)^4-6
