Answer:

In a nutshell, [tex]f(x)[/tex] is obtained by applying an horizontal translation on [tex]g(x)[/tex], followed by a vertical translation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be [tex]g(x) = x^{3}[/tex] the parent function, [tex]f(x)[/tex] is obtained by applying an horizontal translation on [tex]g(x)[/tex], followed by a vertical translation, that is:

[tex]f(x) = g(x-a)-b,\,a,b\in\mathbb{R}[/tex] (1)

If [tex]a > 0[/tex], then translation is rightwards.

If [tex]b > 0[/tex], then translation in downwars.

If [tex]a = 2[/tex] and [tex]b = 1[/tex], then the resulting function is:

[tex]f(x) = g(x-2)-1[/tex]

[tex]f(x) = (x-2)^{3}-1[/tex] (2)

In a nutshell, [tex]f(x)[/tex] is obtained by applying an horizontal translation on [tex]g(x)[/tex], followed by a vertical translation.
