You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Plug in each x to get a corresponding y value.

So for instance, when x = 0,

y+=+sqrt%28x%29

y+=+sqrt%280%29 Plug in x = 0

y+=+0 Take the square root of 0 to get 0

So when x = 0, y is y = 0

This is one row in your table.
-------------------------------------------------------

Another example: When x = 4

y+=+sqrt%28x%29

y+=+sqrt%284%29 Plug in x = 4

y+=+2 Take the square root of 4 to get 2

So when x = 4, y is y = 2

So another row will have 4, then 2

-------------------------------------------------------

Last example: When x = 6

y+=+sqrt%28x%29

y+=+sqrt%286%29 Plug in x = 4

y+=+2.449 You'll have to use a calculator here to get an approximation

So when x = 6, y is y = 2.449

-------------------------------------------------------

You use these steps to generate the y value of each of the x values.

Doing so will give you this table

x y
0 0
1 1
2 1.414
3 1.732
4 2
6 2.449
9 3
12 3.464
16 4
