Identify the transformations of the graph of ƒ (x) = x 3

that produce the
graph of the given function g (x). Then graph g (x) on the same coordinate
plane as the graph of ƒ (x) by applying the transformations to the
reference points (-1, -1), (0, 0) , and (1, 1)

g (x) = (2 (x + 3))^3 + 4

answer:

g (x) are:
• a horizontal compression by a factor of __1/2
• a translation of 3 units to the left and 4 units up

again--I don't get the compression part ( I know it has to do with the first number/ term..the a part)

thank you...i have a test on this and don't get it at all
