Piecewise function question.
Hello everyone, I recently came across a problem while trying to plot some graphs related to a beam.
I've been able to plot piecewise functions in the hp prime so far for shear force, etc., but recently I needed to do something different. Suppose the piecewise function said 5≤X≤7, but I need it to calculate as if it were "2≤X≤0" (going the other way [from right to left] as if the 7 were equal to 0 [the starting point] and 5 were equal to 2). Is there a way I can force it to plot those values while having the graph in the 5 and 7 "positions"? |

RE: Piecewise function question.
I'm not sure if I am understanding your question correctly, but from what I think you are asking, if F1(X) is your original piecewise function, you could simply make F2(X)=F1(7-X) and then graph just F2.

RE: Piecewise function question.
That worked wonderfully. In addition, instead of needing to write two functions (the main one and (F1(7-x))), substituting (x) for (7-x) in the main function also worked very well. Thank you so much! That was extremely helpful.
