For 432
2
−+= xxy , calculate the values of y for 33 ≤≤− x .
Construct a table using these values. Take
as integer.
OPERATION
1. While in COMP mode, store the value of 3
into the variable X.
2. Then key in the expression 432
2
−+ xx using the ALPHA key.
This means
5
=y
when 3
=x is substituted into the function
432
2
−+= xxy
.
3. Then determine the value of
when 2
x . Press
followed by
This means
2−=y
when 2
=x .
4. And to determine value of
when
1
x
, press
followed by
This means 5
−=y when 1
=x .
5. Use similar operations as in step 3 to find the values of
when 3 ,2 ,1 ,0
x . The values
obtained are
23 ,10 ,1 ,4
−=y
respectively. Hence, we can construct a table of the function
432
2
−+= xxy
for
33
≤− x
.
