You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If you tabulate the x and y values (Plotting the data points may help too), you realize that this looks like a quadratic function, symmetrical with respect to x=0, varing little around zero, but increasing more and more steeply as you go away from zero on either side.
If you add x%5E2 values to your tabulation, comparing y to x%5E2, you would realize that y=x%5E2%2B1.
