To find the function values \( f(x) \) for \( x = 1 \) and \( x = 3 \), we will substitute these values into the given quadratic function:

\[
f(x) = -3x^2 + 12x - 10.
\]

### Step 1: Calculate \( f(1) \)
\[
f(1) = -3(1)^2 + 12(1) - 10.
\]
\[
f(1) = -3 + 12 - 10 = -1.
\]

### Step 2: Calculate \( f(3) \)
\[
f(3) = -3(3)^2 + 12(3) - 10.
\]
\[
f(3) = -27 + 36 - 10 = -1.
\]

Now, we can complete the table:

\[
\begin{array}{c|c}
x & f(x) \\
\hline
1 & -1 \\
2 & 2 \\
3 & -1 \\
\end{array}
\]
