3.

Describe how the graph of y = x² can be transformed to the graph of the given equation.

y = (x – 10)² + 8 (4 points)

	Shift the graph of y = x2 left 10 units and then down 8 units.
	Shift the graph of y = x2 up 10 units and then right 8 units.
	Shift the graph of y = x2 left 10 units and then up 8 units.
	Shift the graph of y = x2 right 10 units and then up 8 units.

4.

Describe how to transform the graph of f into the graph of g.

f(x) = x² and g(x) = -(-x)² (4 points)

	The graph shifts left one unit.
	Reflect the graph of f across the y-axis and then reflect across the x-axis.
	Reflect the graph of f across the y-axis.
	The graph shifts down one unit.

5.

Describe the transformations required to obtain the graph of the function f(x) from the graph of the function g(x).

f(x) = 4 cos x; g(x) = cos x (4 points)

	Horizontal stretch by a factor of 4
	Vertical shrink by a factor of
	Horizontal shrink by a factor of

6. A box is to be constructed from a sheet of cardboard that is 10 cm by 60 cm by cutting out squares of length x by x from each corner and bending up the sides. What is the maximum volume this box could have? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
