The graph of y=x^3 is transformed as shown in the graph below. Which equation represents the transformed function? y = x cubed minus 4
y = (x minus 4) cubed
y = (negative x minus 4) cubed
y = (negative x) cubed minus 4

y = (-x)^3 - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, for the function:

y = x^3

When x = 0, we have:

y = 0^3  = 0

So the original graph passes through the point (0, 0)

If we look at the given graph, we can see that the y-intercept (the value of y when x = 0) is:

y = -4

So, this is the graph of y = x^3 moved down 4 units.

You can also see that the graph goes downward as x increases (and up as x decreases) while for the function:

y = x^3

as x increases, we should see that y also increases.

Then we have a reflection across the x-axis.

Ok, now let's describe a vertical shift.

For a general function f(x), a vertical shift of N units is written as:

g(x) = f(x) + N

if N is positive, the shift is upwards

if N is negative, the shift is downwards.

And for a function f(x), a reflection across the x-axis is written as:

g(x) = - f(x)

Here we first apply the reflection across the x-axis, so we get:

g(x) = -f(x)

now we apply the shift 4 units downwards

g(x) = - f(x) - 4

replacing f(x) by our function, x^3

we get:

g(x) = -x^3 - 4

And because of the odd power, we can write:

-x^3 = (-x)^3

Then the function is:

g(x) = (-x)^3 - 4

The correct option is the last one.

y = (-x)^3 - 4

78.59 is the mean

step-by-step explanation:

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.
