Functions — practice question

The diagram displays the graphs of $y=x^3$ and $y=f(x)$. The graph of $y=x^3$ is changed into the graph of $y=f(x)$ by a chain of transformations.
(a)[5]

Describe fully a valid sequence of transformations. Make the order of application clear.

(b)[3]

Given that $f(x)=a(x+b)^3+c$, state the values of the constants $a$, $b$ and $c$.
