Hi there!
Before we get into translation or transformation of a graph. Let's understand how the graph of cube root of x looks like.
1. How does an original graph, or a graph without any translations look like?
- They just look like in attachment as only in a shape of graph. The only difference is how the graph shifts. As you see in the attachment that the graph shifts to 4 units from 0. That means the graph of cube root of x intersects at (0,0) or origin point instead of (4,0). Since the shown graph shifts to right 4 units and intersect at (4,0). What do you think the equation for the graph would be? Let's find out below!
2. Translations/Transformation of the graph.
- Have you got an equation or the answer in your mind yet? Let's say... when you shift the graph to right 4 units which equal to x = 4, the graph finally intersects the x-axis plane or y = 0. Thus making the relation for x and y (4,0). What we have to do is to substithte x = 4 and see which equation result in pure 0.
3. Conclusion and Answer
- If you have already gotten the answer before reading this then congratulations! If you are confident that it is correct though. So the equation that makes x = 4 and y = 0 would be the first equation because when we substitute x = 4, it becomes cube root of 4-4 which becomes 0. Hence, the equation for the graph is cube root of x-4 or the first choice!
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any doubts regarding your question or my answer.
