C) down
D) to the left

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The "+5" in the equation $f(x) = x^3 + 5$ shifts the entire graph of $f(x) = x^3$ upwards by 5 units. Therefore, the correct choice is (A) up.

The Graph Of f(x)=x3+5f ( x ) = x ^ { 3 } + 5f(x)=x3+5

The Graph Of $f ( x ) = x ^ { 3 } + 5$
