I'm doing pretty good on my translations homework, but there's one problem that I can't figure out for the life of me!
Here's the problem: Shift 3x^3-2x^2+8x-12 right 4 units, down 3 units, and reflect across the x-axis. Write the new equation in its simplest form.
So far, the only step I've been able to take is to move the equation down three units; it looks like 3x^3-2x^2+8x-15 after that step is taken.
I'm brand new after finally acknowledging the fact that I might need help, and I don't know how to insert an image of what this looks like on a graph.
I know that to shift the equation right four units, I have to apply to all of the x's, but I'm not 100% sure how to do that to squares or cubes.
Thank you so much to anybody who is able to help!! :grin:
