Question

On a coordinate plane, 2 cube root functions are shown. Function f (x) goes through (negative 3, negative 1.5), has an inflection point at (0, 0), and goes through (3, 1.5). Function g (x) is 2 units to the left of f (x) and has an inflection point at (negative 2, 0).
The graph of f(x) = RootIndex 3 StartRoot x EndRoot is shown with g(x). Which equation represents the graph of g(x)?

g(x) = RootIndex 3 StartRoot x minus 2 EndRoot
g(x) = RootIndex 3 StartRoot x + 2 EndRoot
g(x) = RootIndex 3 StartRoot x EndRoot + 1
g(x) = RootIndex 3 StartRoot x EndRoot–1

Answer 1

g(x) = ∛(x + 2)

Reason: shifting f(x)=∛x left by 2 moves the inflection from (0,0) to (−2,0), which is achieved by replacing x with x+2.
