Graphing Cubic Functions (Jump to: Lecture | Video )

Cubic Function
A Cubic Function is a type of nonlinear function.

Figure 1.

Above is an example of a graph of a cubic function.

Figure 2.

On the left, we have a cubic equation. We can graph it by plugging in a series of "x" values to determine the resulting "y" values. The table on the right shows how we calculated our ordered pairs for graphing.
