Sketch the graph of y = (x + 2)³ + 4. Homework Help ✎
1. Rewrite the equation y = (x + 2)³ + 4 without parentheses. Remember the order of operations.
2. How would the graph in part (a) differ from the graph of the original equation?
3. What is the parent equation of y = (x + 2)³ + 4? Of y = x³ + 6x² + 12x + 12?

Answer (a):

y = x³ + 6x² + 12x + 12

Answer (b):

The equations are equivalent. Their graphs do not differ.

Hint (c):

What is the highest power in each?
