Enter your data in the table below.

Here, we have a function modeled in a graph, and we want to store some information about it at a couple points by modeling it as a table. To represent it as a table, take any five points on the graph, and list them in the table. For example, we can look at the point with an x-value of EXAMPLES[0]. The y-value at this point is round(2 * FUNC(EXAMPLES[0])) / 2, which we find from the graph. line([EXAMPLES[0], -11], [EXAMPLES[0], 11], { strokeWidth: 1, stroke: ORANGE }); circle([EXAMPLES[0], FUNC(EXAMPLES[0])], 0.2, { stroke: ORANGE, fill: ORANGE }); To record this in our table, put EXAMPLES[0] in the x column, and round(2 * FUNC(EXAMPLES[0])) / 2 in the y column. We can do this with 4 other x-values, such as EXAMPLES[1], EXAMPLES[2], EXAMPLES[3], and EXAMPLES[4]. We can find the y-values at these points by finding them on the graph as well. for (var i = 1; i < 5; ++i) { line([EXAMPLES[i], -11], [EXAMPLES[i], 11], { strokeWidth: 1, stroke: ORANGE }); circle([EXAMPLES[i], FUNC(EXAMPLES[i])], 0.2, { stroke: ORANGE, fill: ORANGE }); } From this, five points on the graph are:  (x, round(FUNC(x) * 2) / 2)  Create a graph for the function that is modeled below by plotting the points on the graph.  x y x+"\\hphantom{.0}"  roundToNearest(0.5, FUNC(x)).toFixed(1) .replace(/\.0$/, "\\hphantom{.0}") 
graphInit({ range: 10, scale: 20, tickStep: 1, labelStep: 1, unityLabels: false, labelFormat: function(s) { return "\\small{" + s + "}"; }, axisArrows: "<->" }); addMouseLayer(); graph.points = []; var drawn = false; graph.graphFunc = function() { if (!drawn) { drawn = true; var func = plot(FUNC, [-10, 10], { stroke: ORANGE, opacity: 0.0 }); func.animate({ opacity: 1.0 }, 800); } _.invoke(graph.points, "toFront"); }; graph.checkAnswer = function() { var used = [false, false, false, false, false]; _.each(EXAMPLES, function(x) { var y = roundToNearest(0.5, FUNC(x)); var done = false; _.each(graph.points, function(pt, i) { if (!done) { var coord = pt.coord; if (coord[0] === x && coord[1] === y) { used[i] = true; done = true; } } }); }); return _.all(used, _.identity); }; graph.moved = false; graph.checkPoints = function() { if (graph.checkAnswer()) { graph.graphFunc(); } graph.moved = true; return true; }; for (var i = 0; i < 5; ++i) { graph.points.push(addMovablePoint({ coord: [2 * i - 4, 0], snapX: 0.5, snapY: 0.5, onMoveEnd: graph.checkPoints })); }
Plot the points given in the table on the graph, then check your answer.
[ graph.moved, graph.checkAnswer(), _.pluck(graph.points, "coord") ]
if (!guess[0]) { return ""; } else { return guess[1]; }
_.each(graph.points, function(pt, i) { pt.setCoord(guess[2][i]); });

We can look at a function in many different ways, including a table and a graph. Here, we have information about a function at a few points, and we are trying to gain a more general view of the function by plotting those points in a graph.

To represent it as a graph, take all the points listed in the table, and plot them on the graph.

For example, let's look at the point  (EXAMPLES[0], roundToNearest(0.5, FUNC(EXAMPLES[0]))) .

We need to move one of the points to this position to represent plotting it on the graph.

var endpt = [EXAMPLES[0], roundToNearest(0.5, FUNC(EXAMPLES[0]))]; line([-4, 0], endpt, { arrows: "->" }); graph.points[0].moveTo(endpt[0], endpt[1]); graph.points[0].toFront();

Now, plot the remaining four points by placing the remaining points on the given 'X's.

for (var i = 1; i < 5; ++i) { var x = EXAMPLES[i]; var y = roundToNearest(0.5, FUNC(x)); line([x - 0.5, y - 0.5], [x + 0.5, y + 0.5], { stroke: PINK }); line([x + 0.5, y - 0.5], [x - 0.5, y + 0.5], { stroke: PINK }); _.invoke(graph.points, "toFront"); }
randFromArray([ [function(x) { return B * x + C; }, BSHOW + " x + " + C], [function(x) { return B / 2 * x * x + A * x + C; }, ((B === 2) ? "" : (B === -2) ? "-" : (B / 2)) + " x^2 + " + ASHOW + " x + " + C] ]) (function() { var xs = chooseXValues(FUNC, 1); if (xs.length >= 5) { return sortNumbers(shuffle(xs, 5)); } else { xs = chooseXValues(FUNC, 2); return sortNumbers(shuffle(xs, 5)); } })() 0.01

Create a table with at least five different points in it created from the function. Enter the values in the table as decimals.

FUNCSHOW

You can look at a function in many different ways, including an equation and a table. We have an equation, and in order to see more clearly how the function acts at few points, we are going to record information about it in a table.

To represent it as a table, pick some x values to plug into the equation, and record that x and the result of plugging it into the equation in the table.

For example, try plugging in EXAMPLES[0] to the equation.

The result of f(EXAMPLES[0]) is roundToNearest(0.1, FUNC(EXAMPLES[0])). Record this in the table by putting EXAMPLES[0] in the x column, and roundToNearest(0.1, FUNC(EXAMPLES[0])) in the cooresponding y column.

Now, choose four more x values to plug into the equation. Let's try the numbers EXAMPLES[1], EXAMPLES[2], EXAMPLES[3], and EXAMPLES[4].

By plugging into the equation, we get:

f(x) = roundToNearest(0.1, FUNC(x))
