Finding Missing Input Numbers for a Function Machine Using a Vertical Table

The video tutorial explains how to find missing inputs and outputs in a function machine using vertical tables. It covers the concept of function machines, the application of rules, and the importance of using multiple inputs to verify rules. The tutorial also delves into inverse functions, demonstrating how multiplication and division can be used to solve for unknowns. Patterns in numbers are highlighted as a key tool for understanding and verifying the function machine's operations.
