In your lab, a substance's temperature has been observed to follow the function t(x) = (x + 2)3 - 8. the turning point of the graph is where the substance changes from a solid to a liquid. using complete sentences in your written answer, explain to your fellow scientists how to find the turning point of this function. hint: the turning point of the graph is similar to the vertex of a quadratic function. (10 points)

Step-by-step explanation:

The function T = x^3 has a turning point at x = 0. We can determine this simply by looking at the graph T = x^3. Therefore, (0,0) is the turning point for the graph T = x^3. The function T(x) = (x - 4)^3 + 6 will be the graph T = x^3 shifted to the right by 4 units and shifted up by 6 units. Therefore, the turning point will also shift from (0,0) to 4 units to the right and 6 units up. The turning point will be (4,6) for the function T(x) = (x - 4)^3 + 6.
