Transform polynomial functions.
Objective
You can perform the same transformations on polynomial functions that you performed on quadratic and linear functions.
For f(x) = x3 – 6, write the rule for each function and sketch its graph.
Example 1A: Translating a Polynomial Function
g(x) = f(x) – 2
g(x) = (x3 – 6) – 2
g(x) = x3 – 8
To graph g(x) = f(x) – 2, translate the graph of f(x) 2 units down.
This is a vertical translation.
For f(x) = x3 – 6, write the rule for each function and sketch its graph.
Example 1B: Translating a Polynomial Function
h(x) = f(x + 3)
h(x) = (x + 3)3 – 6
To graph h(x) = f(x + 3), translate the graph 3 units to the left.
This is a horizontal translation.

g(x) = –x3 – 5x2 + 8x – 1
Check Graph both functions. The graph appears to be a reflection.
Example 2B: Reflecting Polynomial Functions
Let f(x) = x3 + 5x2 – 8x + 1. Write a function g that performs each transformation.
g(x) = f(–x)
Reflect f(x) across the y-axis.
g(x) = (–x)3 + 5(–x)2 – 8(–x) + 1
g(x) = –x3 + 5x2 + 8x + 1
Check Graph both functions. The graph appears to be a reflection.

Example 5: Consumer ApplicationThe number of skateboards sold per month can be modeled by f(x) = 0.1x3 + 0.2x2 + 0.3x + 130, where x represents the number of months since May. Let g(x) = f(x) + 20. Find the rule for g and explain the meaning of the transformation in terms of monthly skateboard sales.
Step 1 Write the new rule.
The new rule is g(x) = f(x) + 20
Step 2 Interpret the transformation.
The transformation represents a vertical shift 20 units up, which corresponds to an increase in sales of 20 skateboards per month.
g(x) = 0.1x3 + 0.2x2 + 0.3x + 130 + 20g(x) = 0.1x3 + 0.2x2 + 0.3x + 150
