Math Problem Statement

Describe how the graph of g(x) = (x - 8)^3 is related to the graph of f(x) = x^3. The graph of g(x) is a translation of the graph of f(x) __ units.

Solution

The problem in the image asks about how the graph of g(x)=(x8)3g(x) = (x - 8)^3 is related to the graph of f(x)=x3f(x) = x^3. This is a transformation problem involving a cubic function.

The function g(x)=(x8)3g(x) = (x - 8)^3 represents a horizontal translation of the graph of f(x)=x3f(x) = x^3. Specifically, the transformation (x8)(x - 8) indicates a shift to the right by 8 units.

Answer:

The graph of g(x)g(x) is a translation of the graph of f(x)f(x) 8 units to the right.
