Given:
(a) The parent function of p(x) is the cubic function:
(b) To produce p(x) from y, we need to perform the following transformations in order:
* Shift to the left 3 units. This gives the function:
* Stretch vertically by a factor of 3. This gives the function:
* Shift upward 2 units. This gives the final function:
(c) The graphs of the parent function (in blue) and the transformed function (in red) are shown below:
