Description: A function table provides an overview of a function’s input and output values. This video explains how to make two versions, and what they’re used for.

The design of roller coasters can be described by a type of function called a polynominal function! The designers need to ensure the coaster's path is smooth and safe, which can be achieved by using polynominals to model the shape of the tracks.

A function table provides an overview of a function’s input values, and its associated output values.

Every point in the coordinate system has coordinates of the form 

. The first coordinate tells you where the point is along the 

-axis, and the second coordinate tells you where the point is placed along the 

. By plotting these in a coordinate system you can visualize the relationship between the input, 

, of the function. This is what we mean by drawing a graph.
