Question

How is the graph of g(x) = (x - 6)³ related to the

graph of f(x) = x³? (0.5 point)
A. The graph of g(x) is a translation of the
graph of f(x) down 6 units.
B.
The graph of g(x) is a translation of the
graph of f(x) right 6 units.
C.
The graph of g(x) is a translation of the
graph of f(x) left 6 units.

Answer 1

B. )The graph of g(x) is a translation of the graph of f(x) right 6 units.

Explanation:

When a positive number is directly added to an "x" variable (usually inside of parentheses), the graph is shifted to the left that many units.

When a negative number is directly added to an "x" variable, the graph is shifted to the right that many units.

A graph shifts up or down when a positive or negative number is added to the overall function. For example, if the -6 were outside of the parentheses, the graph would be translated 6 units downwards.
