Baseline Coordinates and Curve of the Cubic Reference Function

As an apprentice designer at an ergonomic product development firm, you are learning to model smooth curvatures using basic algebraic functions. Your instructor asks you to document the standard baseline coordinates and curve shape for the cubic reference function f(x)=x3f(x) = x^3 before you begin modeling on CAD software. Write a short explanation recalling the five standard ordered pairs obtained by evaluating the integer xx-values ranging from -2 to 2. Then, describe how these points are plotted and connected on a coordinate system to produce the function's characteristic curve.
