As you can see below, in red is g(x) = (x + 1)^3 and in blue is f(x)=x^3. Adding 1 to x moves the graph to the left by 1.

Hope this was the answer you were looking for and I hope you have a great day!

Answer:

the graph of g(x) is a horizontal transformation of f(x) 1 units to the left.

Explanation:

Given the parent function:
f(x) = x^3

Rule of Horizontal transformation:

If y =f(x) , then y= f(x+k) gives a function that is translated k units towards the left side.

then;

By definition of horizontal translation:


g(x) = (x+1)^3

Therefore, the graph of g(x) is a horizontal transformation of f(x) 1 units to the left.
