You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The value of Y is determined by cubing (raising to the exponent 3) the value of X.
.
Y+=+X%5E3
.
So when X = 5 the value of Y is 5%5E3+=+125
.
And when X = 6 the value of Y is 6%5E3+=+216
.
You can check this by cubing each of the values of X in the table you were given to ensure that the corresponding value of Y is what is shown in the table.
.
Hope this helps you to understand the problem.
