Learn how to fill in the table of values for a quadratic function

The video tutorial guides students through evaluating equations using a table of values. It begins with an introduction to the concept, followed by instructions on plotting X values and finding corresponding Y values. The teacher demonstrates step-by-step evaluation of equations for different X values, highlighting the importance of identifying patterns in the results. The tutorial concludes with completing the table of values and a brief summary of the process. Students are encouraged to apply these methods to different functions.

What is the range of X values specified for creating the table of values?

• Between -3 and 3

• Between -5 and 5

• Between -2 and 2

• Between -4 and 4

When evaluating the equation, what is the result of squaring a negative number?

• Zero

• A negative number

• A positive number

• The same negative number

What is the Y value when X is -1, according to the calculations shown?

• 9

• 4

• 1

• 0

How does identifying patterns in the Y values help in completing the table?

• It helps in plotting more points

• It reduces the number of X values needed

• It allows skipping calculations for some X values

• It makes the process more complex

What is the final Y value when X is 3, as per the pattern identified?

• 4

• 16

• 1

• 9
