for each one, you can plot a bunch of points and draw a curve through those points
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so for instance, if x = 0, then
y = x^3
y = 0^3
y = 0
so (0,0) is on y = x^3
and...
if x = 1, then
y = x^3
y = 1^3
y = 1
and (1,1) is also on y = x^3
if x = 2, then
y = x^3
y = 2^3
y = 8
which means (2,8) is also on y = x^3

is there any quicker way? that seems very tedious?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so plot those points (and more for better accuracy), then draw a curve through them to graph the function
Still Need Help?

well you could graph the basic shape from memory, the equation y = x^3 is a cubic which looks like this
|dw:1378668014550:dw|

ok thx :) ill just learn off the shape of those graphs then, thx a bunch !
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
they don't have to be accurate since they rough sketches, so you can use this quicker method
you're welcome
