Move 5 units to the LEFT from 0.

I Hope this helps you :)

Answer:


(x+5)^3

Explanation:

These problems can be a bit confusing when dealing with f(x). All this problem is asking is substitute
(x+5) in for f(x) to find your new graph.

When you do that:

you get
(x+5)^3

The parent function (f(x) is
x^3

Both of the functions are cubic functions so they are going in the same direction. The only difference is that the new graph is shifted to the left 5 units.

I will upload a picture so you can see.
