How to adjust an equation for new intervals

27 Views Asked by At

I am using a Casio graphing calculator's Picture Plot feature.

I am trying to find the equation which models a rollercoaster.

I have plotted the equation as seen below:

my plot

Through quartic regression, I'm able to get the equation:

$$0.31~x^4 -0.38~x^3 - 2.5~x^2 + 0.52$$

Though this is an equation in which each interval (each mark on the axes) represents 1 unit. In reality the roller coaster section seen has a height of 107m and a length of 20m (length is hypothetical).

I'm unable to realize how to change the equation to account for this.
