Input/Output Tables

Front

What is an Input/Output Table?

Back

An Input/Output Table is a way to organize information that shows how one set of numbers (inputs) relates to another set of numbers (outputs).

Front

What is an input in an Input/Output Table?

Back

An input is the number that you put into a function or rule to get an output.

Front

What is an output in an Input/Output Table?

Back

An output is the result you get after applying a function or rule to an input.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What does it mean to find a pattern in an Input/Output Table?

Back

Finding a pattern means looking for a consistent relationship between inputs and outputs, which can help predict future outputs.

Front

How do you create an Input/Output Table?

Back

To create an Input/Output Table, list your inputs in one column, apply a rule to each input to find the outputs, and write the outputs in the next column.

Front

What is a function in relation to Input/Output Tables?

Back

A function is a specific rule that describes how to transform an input into an output.

Front

If the rule is to 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 using Input/Output Tables?

Back

The purpose is to visualize and understand the relationship between inputs and outputs, making it easier to solve problems.

Front

Can an Input/Output Table have more than one rule?

Back

No, each Input/Output Table typically has one rule that applies to all inputs.
