Question 750070: let a be a real number, let us translate the graph of the cubic function .....{1)
so that the point (a,f(a)) on the graph (1) is translated into the origin (0,0), and express the function of the translated graph in terms of f'(a) and f"(a)
next we consder the translation which translates the point (a,f(a)) on the graph of (1) into the origin, we replace x with x+a and y with y+f(a) in (1), and obtain the expression
f"+f'
As an example, consider the function ....(2)
f'(4)=0 and f"(4)=0
we see that when we translate the graph of (2) so that the point (B,C) on the graph is moved to the origin, we get the graph of
solve for [A] [B] and [C]
