Do the following steps consecutively!

1. Determine the function value of 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 2 by completing the following table.
𝑦 = 𝑥 2 , −3 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 3
𝑥 -3 -2.5 -2 -1.5 -1 -0.5 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5 3
𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥)
2. Scatter all the points in Cartesian diagram! Mark with dot, then related it to
form a curve.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to form the curve of 𝑦 = 2 𝑥 2 , and 𝑦 = 2𝑥 2 !

Sketch the graph on a flip chart paper (sketch the three curves in one Cartesian
coordinate! Better you use different color for each curve)

4. Discuss with your friends (in group) what can you see from steps 1 to 3 and
draw a conclusion!

form a curve.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to form the curve of 𝑦 = (𝑥 + 1)2 , and 𝑦 = (𝑥 − 1)2 !
