Finding a rule from a table using multiplication and division - Help on math

The video tutorial explains how to find mathematical rules using operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. It starts with simple examples and progresses to more complex cases involving negative numbers and fractions. The instructor demonstrates how to derive rules by testing different operations and provides examples to illustrate the process.

What is the first step in finding a mathematical rule according to the video?

• Check for multiplication and division

• Look for addition and subtraction

• Try using cube and cube roots

• Use squaring and square roots

Why was the rule x + 3 not suitable for the given example?

• It was too complex

• It required division

• It only worked for the first value

• It worked for all values

What rule was established for the set of numbers using multiplication?

• x / 4

• x + 4

• 4x

• x - 4

How do you handle cases where input values are larger than output values?

• Subtract a constant

• Multiply by a whole number

• Add a constant

• Multiply by a fraction or divide

What is the rule for converting input to output when dealing with negative numbers?

• Multiply by -1/2

• Divide by 2

• Multiply by 2

• Add 2
