Question

How do you graph `g(x) = (x+2)^3`?

Answer 1

Using desmos.com:

Explanation:

I used desmos to show what was going on, but you could do this by hand on graph paper as well with one of these two methods:

Make a table:

Then plot those points and connect them with a smooth curve.

Use transformations:

If you knew what `y=x^3` looked like already you could shift that graph over `2` units to the left. The number inside the parentheses affects the horizontal shift from the parent function `y=x^3`
