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.

Okay, so the formula you're looking at is y = a(x - h)2+ k and you're trying to find your vertex, or the turning point, which is (h,k)

With the given  the h is going to be 2 and the k will be 8 giving you the vertex of (2,8) or, in this case, the turning point of this graph.

The way you get a positive 2 for h is because in the formula you have an (x-h) and since the h=-2 anytime you have a number (x) subtracted by a negative number, (--2) the negatives cancel out leaving a positive 2 

So you're answer is (2,8) 

Dang i wish i could , good luck (i’m bad at math)
