Compare Two Functions by Analyzing an Equation and a Table

This video tutorial teaches how to compare two functions by analyzing an equation and a table. It explains the numeric representation of functions through tables and the algebraic representation through equations. The video highlights the importance of understanding the constant rate of change and common mistakes made when calculating it. Real-world examples, such as recycling programs in California and Michigan, are used to illustrate these concepts. The tutorial also covers function characteristics, including one-to-one relationships, and reiterates how to calculate the rate of change using tables.

How does the constant rate of change differ between California and Michigan's recycling programs?

Describe the process of checking the rate of change using a table.
