Identifying Patterns in Functions

The video tutorial introduces the concepts of additive and multiplicative patterns in tables. It explains how to identify these patterns by examining the relationship between x and y values. Additive patterns involve adding a constant number to x to get y, while multiplicative patterns involve multiplying x by a constant to get y. The tutorial provides examples and practice problems to help learners distinguish between these patterns and understand their applications.

What are we looking for when identifying patterns in tables?

• The number of rows in the table

• The relationship between x and y values

• The color of the table

• The size of the table

What is the main focus when identifying patterns in tables?

• The color of the table

• The number of columns

• The size of the table

• The relationship between x and y values

In an additive pattern, what operation is used to relate x to y?

• Subtraction

• Addition

• Multiplication

• Division

In an additive pattern, what is added to x to get y?

• A decreasing number

• A constant number

• A random number

• A variable number

Which of the following is true for a multiplicative pattern?

• Each x value is added to a constant

• Each x value is multiplied by a constant

• Each x value is divided by a constant

• Each x value is subtracted by a constant

What defines a multiplicative pattern?

• Multiplying x by a constant

• Subtracting a constant from x

• Adding a constant to x

• Dividing x by a constant

How can you determine if a table uses a multiplicative pattern?

• By checking if adding a constant works for all pairs

• By checking if multiplying by a constant works for all pairs

• By checking if subtracting a constant works for all pairs

• By checking if dividing by a constant works for all pairs

How do you confirm a table uses a multiplicative pattern?

• By subtracting a constant from each x

• By dividing each x by a constant

• By multiplying each x by a constant

• By adding a constant to each x

What does answer C incorrectly suggest about the pattern?

• Each x value is multiplied by three

• Each x value is a multiple of four

• Each x value is added to three

• Each x value is divided by three

What does answer C incorrectly claim about the pattern?

• Each x value is divided by three

• Each x value is added to three

• Each x value is a multiple of four

• Each x value is multiplied by three
