Math Problem Statement
Solution
The graph shown is a translation of the function , and you are tasked with identifying the correct equation that represents , which is the translated version.
Step-by-step approach:
-
Original Function: The function is symmetric around the origin and passes through the origin . Any transformation (shift up, down, left, or right) will modify its position.
-
Vertical Translation: In the graph, the function appears to have been shifted vertically compared to . It crosses the -axis above the origin (specifically at ).
-
Translation of :
- A vertical shift upward by units can be described by the equation:
Thus, the correct equation that represents is:
This corresponds to the third option in the list.
Summary:
The correct answer is:
Let me know if you want further details or have any other questions! Here are some related questions to consider:
- How would the graph change if the function was translated horizontally instead of vertically?
- What happens if we translate the original function by both a horizontal and vertical shift?
- Can you explain the effect of translating a cubic root function on the graph's symmetry?
- How would the equation change if the shift was downward instead of upward?
- What would happen to the graph if we reflected over the x-axis?
Tip: When identifying translations, always look at key points like where the graph crosses the axes to determine the nature of the shift.
