Explain how to rewrite the function shown in order to determine the transformation of the parent function. Then, describe the transformation of the graph compared to the parent function.

Correct Answer:

Factor −8 from the radicand to rewrite the function as y = −2∛(x + 1/2). This reflects the parent graph over the x-axis, stretches it vertically by a factor of 2, and shifts it 1/2 unit to the left.
