a. A table of values usually has a column for "x" values & "y" values.
This is where if x is some number, you get to pick what, then y's value is what "f" spits out using x's value.
b. This is probably pretty straightforward. Using the x & y values you made up earlier, plot those points on a graph. It helps to have a lot of points so you really know what the shape of the graph looks like, but then you have to make all those points too :P.
c. A function's "end behavior" is basically what it's doing if x goes wayyyyy over to the left or the right.
Maybe the function's getting larger values or getting smaller or closer to a certain number.
