Cubic Function Transformations Explained

The video tutorial covers cubic functions, focusing on transformations such as translations, vertical and horizontal stretches, and compressions. It explains how changes in parameters H, K, A, and B affect the graph of a cubic function. The tutorial includes examples to illustrate how to graph cubic functions with these transformations, emphasizing the importance of the anchor point and how to determine it.

What does the H value in a cubic function transformation represent?

• Horizontal stretch

• Vertical shift

• Horizontal shift

• Vertical stretch
