Pre calculus describe the transformations that produce the graph of g(x)=1/2(x-4)^3+5 from the graph of the parent function f(x)=x^3 give the order in which they must be preformed to obtain the correct graph

Start with the parent function f(x) = x³

Notice the function f(x) = (x - 4)³ that a value '4' is subtracted from 'x' ⇒ This means the function f(x) is translated four units to the right.

Then the function f(x) = ¹/₂ (x - 4)³, the function (x - 4)³ is halved vertically ⇒ Half the y-coordinate

Then the function f(x) = ¹/₂ (x - 4)³ + 5 that a value '5' is added to ¹/₂ (x - 4)³ ⇒ This means the function f(x)  is translated five units up

So the order of transformation that is happening to f(x) = x³ is translation four units to the right, half the y-coordinate, then translate 5 units up.

Answer: 900°

good luck on your studies! : )
