Displaying a simple table

[CR]

The assignment is to construct a two-column table that starts at x= -4 and ends with x= 5 with one unit increments between consecutive x values. It should have column headings ‘x’ and ‘f(x)’. I can't find anything helpful on html.table(), which is what we're supposed to use.

I'm pretty familiar with programming, just not with python and I don't know exactly what parameters html.table takes. 

This what I have so far. I just have no idea what to put into the html.table function.

x = var('x')
f(x) = (5 * x^2) - (9 * x) + 4
html.table()

Are you using sagenb.org, cloud.sagemath.com or sage running on your
own computer?

I have not used html.table myself, but typing html.table? to get the
online help shows what the parameters are and gives some examples.

Another option is to use the "table" function:

    T = table( insert appropriate arguments here )
    html(table)

will produce equivalent output to html.table(...). In fact, that's exactly what html.table(...) does. As John Cremona said, doing

   table?

will give you a help message with information about how to use it.
