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.

y=^3√-8x-4

Y = (-8x-4) ^ (1/3)

y = (x) ^ (1/3)

y=a * (b (x-c)) ^ (1/3)) + d

In this equation, a is equal to one and d is equal to 0, so the equation is reduced to y = (b (x-c)) ^ (1/3). Here, you can see that the b value is equal to - 8, which would leave a c value of (-1/2) according to the equation.

This would mean that the transformations from y=x^ (1/3) to the equation in the problem would include:

a horizontal shift of - 1/2, or to the left of the y-axis by. 5 units,

a reflection across the x-axis, due to the negative b value,

and the b value of 8, ignoring the sign due to that demonstrating the reflection, would mean that it is horizontally compressed by 1/8.
