Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the transformations

The parent function is (y = \sqrt[3]{x}). For the function (r(x)=\frac{1}{2}\sqrt[3]{x - 1}+2), there is a horizontal shift of 1 unit to the right (due to (x-1) inside the cube - root), a vertical compression by a factor of (\frac{1}{2}) (due to the coefficient (\frac{1}{2}) in front of the cube - root), and a vertical shift of 2 units up (due to the (+2) outside the cube - root).

The key point of the parent function (y = \sqrt[3]{x}) is ((0,0)). After the horizontal shift (x\to x - 1), the point becomes ((1,0)). After the vertical compression (y\to\frac{1}{2}y), the (y) - value of the point ((1,0)) remains (0) (since (\frac{1}{2}\times0 = 0)). After the vertical shift (y\to y + 2), the point ((1,0)) on the parent - transformed (after horizontal and vertical compression) function becomes ((1,2)).

Step2: Consider the end - behavior

As (x\to+\infty), (y=\sqrt[3]{x}\to+\infty). For (r(x)=\frac{1}{2}\sqrt[3]{x - 1}+2), as (x\to+\infty), (r(x)=\frac{1}{2}\sqrt[3]{x - 1}+2\to+\infty) (because (\sqrt[3]{x-1}) behaves like (\sqrt[3]{x}) for large (x)). As (x\to-\infty), (y = \sqrt[3]{x}\to-\infty). For (r(x)=\frac{1}{2}\sqrt[3]{x - 1}+2), as (x\to-\infty), (r(x)=\frac{1}{2}\sqrt[3]{x - 1}+2\to-\infty) (because (\sqrt[3]{x - 1}) behaves like (\sqrt[3]{x}) for large negative (x)).

Since we don't have the actual visual of the graphs A, B, C, D, but based on the transformation rules:

  • The graph of (y = \sqrt[3]{x}) passes through ((0,0)). The graph of (r(x)=\frac{1}{2}\sqrt[3]{x - 1}+2) passes through ((1,2)).

If we assume that in a standard coordinate system (where we can check the position of the key point ((1,2))): The graph of (r(x)) is shifted 1 unit to the right, compressed vertically by a factor of (\frac{1}{2}), and shifted 2 units up compared to (y=\sqrt[3]{x}).

Answer:

Assuming that in the given options, the graph with the key point ((1,2)) (after considering the transformations of horizontal shift, vertical compression, and vertical shift) is the correct one. Without seeing the exact visual details of A, B, C, D, but if we assume a standard multiple - choice setup where we can track the position of the transformed key point, the graph that has its "central" point (analogous to ((0,0)) of (y = \sqrt[3]{x})) at ((1,2)) is the correct one.
