Example: Graphing the Function
To graph the cube function , select several -values and evaluate them to find the corresponding -values. For instance, choosing the integer -values ranging from to yields the following ordered pairs: , , , , and . Plotting these coordinates on a rectangular coordinate system and horizontally connecting them with a smooth curve produces the characteristic curved shape of the cube function.
