This example demonstrates the graph of a polynomial function and shows how the graph translates right, left, up, and down. Key mathematical concepts include function graphs and function translations. It uses GeoGebra objects such as function f and slider a to control the translation distance. Suitable for high school mathematics education and learning function graph transformations.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. f(x) = x^(4) - (5 * x^(2)) + 4
  2. Numeric a(2.764)
  3. (a, f(a))
  4. (a, (-f(a)))
  5. (a, f(a - 2))
  6. (a, f(a + 2))
  7. (a, f(a) + 2)
  8. (a, f(a) + 2)
