How Do You Translate a Polynomial Function Vertically?

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Want to move a graphed function up or down? This is called a function translation. This video looks at translating a cubic function up three units. It considers the function in standard form, the graph of the function, and a table of values of the function, to see how each is affected by this function translation.
