Math Problem Statement

The function g(x) is a transformation of the cube root parent function, f(x) = /7. What function is g(x)? S(x) #(x) Click here for long description • A. g(x) = 34/2 • B. 9(x) = 32 +3 C. g(x) = 3V= • D. g(x) = 1/x +3

Solution

To determine the transformation of the cube root parent function f(x)=x3f(x) = \sqrt[3]{x}, we analyze the options provided. Each choice must represent a modification (stretch, shift, reflection, etc.) of the cube root function.

Step-by-step Analysis:

  1. Cube Root Parent Function: f(x)=x3f(x) = \sqrt[3]{x} is the base function. Transformations typically involve:

    • Vertical/horizontal stretches or compressions.
    • Vertical/horizontal shifts.
    • Reflections across axes.
  2. Options Analysis:

    • Option A: g(x)=34/2g(x) = 34/2: This is a constant, not a cube root transformation.
    • Option B: g(x)=32+3g(x) = 32 + 3: This is not a valid representation of a cube root function and appears unrelated.
    • Option C: g(x)=3x3g(x) = 3\sqrt[3]{x}: This matches a transformation of the cube root parent function, specifically a vertical stretch by a factor of 3.
    • Option D: g(x)=1x+3g(x) = \frac{1}{x} + 3: This represents a reciprocal function, not related to the cube root function.

Conclusion:

The function g(x)=3x3g(x) = 3\sqrt[3]{x} (Option C) is the correct transformation of the cube root parent function.
