f(x) = x3-6x-1
To horizontally shrink f(x), replace x with 4x.
To translate 2 units up, add 2
g(x) = (4x)3 - 6(4x) -1 +2
= 64x3 - 24x + 1

asked 02/10/21Let the graph of g be a horizontal shrink by a factor of 4, followed by a translation 2 units up of the graph of f(x)= x^3-6x-1 Write a rule for g
