I'm having a little trouble figuring out how to translate $ax^3+bx^2+cx+d=y$ by vector $(1,1)$ using only algebra. If possible could someone give me a hand?

An example:

Translate $f(x)=2x^3–3x^2+x+1$ by vector $(1,-1)$

(also, it's a vector, not a coordinate! sorry, I suck at MathJaX :(..)

Thank you! Any help is greatly appreciated :)

    Perhaps you're supposed to translate the cubic *curve* $y=2x^3–3x^2+x+1$ by the vector $(1,-1)$?2012-09-21

    Thanks for clarifying. I think I've gotten the question the way you intended it. Check out the markup I used by clicking the timestamp next to my "edited" thing above.2012-09-21
