Describe all transformations that apply to the function y=3(x-4)^3 + 7
compared to the parent function y=x^3.
I know the function would shift right 4 and up 7
but wasn't sure what transformation the 3 would cause.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

The transformations are (in this order)


    (1)  translation of the parent function plot 4 units right (horizontally);

    (2)  stretching along the y-axis with coefficient 3;

    (3)  translation 7 units up (vertically).
