A function table is a way to organize input and output values for a function. It shows how each input is related to its output.

Front

What does the term 'input' mean in a function table?

Back

Input is the value that you put into a function. It is the starting point for finding the output.

Front

What does the term 'output' mean in a function table?

Back

Output is the value that comes out of a function after you apply the input.

Front

How do you find the output in a function table?

Back

To find the output, you apply the function rule to the input value.

Front

What is a function rule?

Back

A function rule is a mathematical expression that describes the relationship between input and output.

Front

If the function rule is 'add 3', what is the output when the input is 5?

Back

The output is 8, because 5 + 3 = 8.

Front

If the function rule is 'multiply by 2', what is the output when the input is 4?

Back

The output is 8, because 4 x 2 = 8.

Front

What is the purpose of a function table?

Back

The purpose of a function table is to help visualize and understand how inputs and outputs are related.

Front

Can a function table have more than one input?

Back

No, each input in a function table corresponds to exactly one output.

Front

What happens if you change the input in a function table?

Back

Changing the input will change the output according to the function rule.
