Question 32065: this is a question from worksheet pg.478 Glencoe Alebra 1.8-4 Enrichment.
For each of the following polynomial functions, make a table of values for x and y =f(x). Then draw a graph on the grid. The first polynomial funtion is,
f(x)=1-x square. I can do the graph but I have no Idea on how to get the table.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
To make a table of values for the functiony+=+1-x%5E2, you assign any value you want to the independent variable,x, and then you work out the corresponding value of dependent variable, y. The table will look like this:
x...(1-x^2)...y
---------------
0....1-0......1
1....1-1......0
2....1-4.....-3
-1...1-1......0
-2...1-4.....-3
You can put in as many points for x as you wish.
