Parent Functions & Their Relationships Cubic Function: y = x 3 Cube Root Function: y = 3 x
cubing function: the function f x = x 3, which gives the cube of a number. cube root: the cube root of a number a is the number b such that a = b 3. 3 the cube root of a is denoted a. 3 ex.) The cube root of 64 equals 4. 64 = 4 3 The cube root of 16 equals 2.52. 16 2.5198421 perfect cube: a number, a, that is equal to the cube of an integer. Given: a = b 3 = b b b ex.) -125 is a perfect cube because -125 = ( 5) 3 Perfect cubes: a: { 0, ±1, ±8, ±27, ±64, ±125, ±216, ±343, ±512, ±729, ±1000 } Cube roots: b: { 0, ±1, ±2, ±3, ±4, ±5, ±6, ±7, ±8, ±9, ±10 } (h, k) x 3 (-2) 3 ( 1) 3 (0) 3 (1) 3 (2) 3 (3) 3 What should we call the point (h, k) of a cubic function? If it s not a vertex (pt. of parabola s directional ), then what is it?? n 2 n 2 3 n 3
Transformation of Cubic Parent Function y = x 3 Replace x x h a y k h = horizontal shift a = horizontal dilation b & y y = x 3 = ( x h y = b( y k b a )3 x h a )3 + k k = vertical shift b = vertical dilation A square is to a rectangle like a cube is to a. (h, k) = the inflection point or, the center of rotational symmetry
Transformation of Cubic Parent Function y = x 3 Replace x x h a y k h = horizontal shift a = horizontal dilation b & y y = x 3 = ( x h y = b( y k b a )3 x h a )3 + k k = vertical shift b = vertical dilation A square is to a rectangle like a cube is to a. Answer: PRISM. Prism: a solid geometric figure whose two end faces are similar, equal, & parallel, however, the sides are parallelograms, but NOT equal to the ends. l w h V = lwh l = w = h V = s 3

Writing the Factored Form of a Cubic Function (given a graph) a.) Identify the zeros or roots of the cubic function. r 1 = r 2 = r 3 = b.) Find the y-intercept. Use this point to solve for the dilation, a. c.) Write the factored form of the function. y = a(x r 1 )(x r 2 )(x r 3 )
SOLUTIONS: Zeros or Roots: a.) r 1 = -5, r 2 = 3 & r 3 = 7 -> y = a(x 5)(x 3)(x 7) y-intercept: b.) (0, d) = (0, 105) Factored form cubic function: c.) y = 1(x + 5)(x 3)(x 7) Let (x,y) = (0, 105) ; solve for a-value. y = a(x + 5)(x 3)(x 7) 105 = a(0 + 5)(0 3)(0 7) 1 = a Thus, The factored form cubic function is: y = 1(x + 5)(x 3)(x 7)
SOLUTIONS: Zeros or Roots: a.) r 1 = 1, r 2 = -3 & r 3 = -3 -> y = a(x 1)(x 3)(x 3) y-intercept: b.) (0, d) = (0, -18) Factored form cubic function: c.) y = 2(x 1)(x + 3) 2 Let (x,y) = (0, -18) ; solve for a-value. y = a(x 1)(x + 3)(x + 3) -18 = a(0 1)(0 + 3) 2-18 = -9a 2 = a Thus, The factored form cubic function is: y = 2(x 1)(x + 3) 2
