the cube root function is shifted right two units.
Then it is multiplied by -2
Then it is raised 1.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


            Looking into the posts of other tutors  (@Boreal,  @MathLover1,  @ewatrrr)  may confuse you,
            because their plots are incorrect and give you incorrect vision of the situation.

            Therefore, I came to bring you the correct solution,  plots,  vision and explanations.


The function  y=   is the "child" function of the "parent" function  y= .


The parent function is defined over the ENTIRE real domain (whole number line), see the plot in Figure 1.


    


          Figure 1.  y =  


The plot has two wings, the green line (at x >=0) and the blue line (at x < 0).  

They both have EQUAL RIGHTS of existence and are antisymmetric relatively the origin of the coordinate system.


The "child" function  y=   is ALSO defined over the ENTIRE number line.


Relative to the parent function plot, it is shifted two units right, stretched two times along the y-axis 
and reflected relative the x-axis; then shifter 1 unit up.


See the Figure 2.

Explain the transformation rules for graphing the given function y= -2 cuberoot(x-2) + 1
   The parent function: y =                                The function: y = 
             

     The function: y =                           The function: y = 
              
                                  The FINAL function: y =
