Could you please explain to me how to create a table with enough points so that I can graph it by hand? Also, is there a vertex formula? It seems like there would be a vertex with this type of graph. I think the shape of it should be similar to that of an \"S\" because it is x^3, am I correct? Thank you, Jess </SPAN>\n" );
