Help graphing functions!

OpenStudy (malay_80):

I don't know how to graph long functions on my ti-84. Can someone help. I will post the equation and function in a sec.

OpenStudy (malay_80):

Here is the question, I need to know how to graph both things f(x) = x3 + x2 − 2x + 1, what is the resulting function when f(x) is shifted to the left 1 unit?

OpenStudy (malay_80):

I need to know how to graph on my calculator, I can't use a computer during school

OpenStudy (photon336):

well if you wanted to put in x^3 you would put the variable x ^ sign then 3

OpenStudy (malay_80):

I just don't know how to get it into thee graph. I know variables and stuff. I can't get past the y= screen. I put the equation in y= screen, but I don't know what to do after that

OpenStudy (photon336):

@Malay_80 I posted a video this should help

OpenStudy (malay_80):

ok, hang on. Ill check it out

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Press "graph" on the right after the y= screen.

OpenStudy (malay_80):

the video helped, now I need help on the question Given the function f(x) = x^3 + x^2 − 2x + 1, what is the resulting function when f(x) is shifted to the left 1 unit?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

For any function f(x) transformed to g(x), we have, in general, g(x)=a*f(bx-h)+k where a=vertical stretch, a=1 if no change in scale/stretch. b=horizontal stretch, b=1 if no change in scale/stretch. h=shift to the right h units for h>0, and to the left for h<0. h=0 if no left/right shift. k=shift up k units if k>0, and shift down if k<0. k=0 if no up/down shift.
