Determine the cubic function that is obtained from the parent function y = x^3 under a vertical stretch by a factor of 5, a reflection across the x-axis, a vertical translation 1 unit down, and a horizontal translation 7 units right .

y = -5(x - 7)^3 - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

You kind of just plug in the numbers.

a vertical stretch by a factor of 5: y = 5x^3

a reflection across the x-axis: y = -5x^3

a vertical translation 1 unit down: -5x^3 - 1

a horizontal translation 7 units right: -5(x - 7)^3 -1

answer:   b

step-by-step explanation:

x2 = 16

x can not be a negative number because 16 is positive

the only answer would be positive 8
