If y = x3 – x2 + x – 1 calculate the values of y for x = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and form the forward differences table

Solution
Given y = x3 – x2 + x – 1
When x = 0, y = –1
When x = 1
y = 1 – 1 + 1 – 1 = 0
When x = 2
y = 8 – 4 + 2 – 1 = 5
For x = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
When x = 3
y = 27 – 9 + 3 – 1 = 20
When x = 4
y = 64 – 16 + 4 – 1 = 51
When x = 5
y = 125 – 25 + 5 – 1 = 104
