Today, we are
going to learn
how to generalize
a variety of
patterns to a
symbolic rule
from tables,
graphs, or words

You are going to
make some
notations in
your journals.

My Function Machine takes a value
called input and performs one or more
operations on it according to a “rule”
to produce a new value called the
output.
A function is a relation
that assigns exactly one
output value to one
input value
You can organize the
input-output values
of a function in a
function table.

You can also use a “rule” to
describe a pattern in a
+8
sequence of numbers.
For example: 8, 16, 24, 32, …
A sequence is a list of
numbers in a specific order.
What rule would you use for
the above sequence?
Ad

Each number in a list is
called a term of the
sequence.
An Arithmetic sequence
can be found by adding the
same number to the
previous term.
8, 16, 24, 32, …
+8

In a Geometric
Sequence, each term is
found by multiplying
the previous term by the
same number.
For example:
2, 10, 50, 250, …
x5
x5
x5
Time
s

X+5
You can also write an
algebraic expression to
describe a sequence.
The value of each term
can be described as a
function of its
position in the
sequence.
You can show a sequence in a
table. The position of the
number in the sequence is “x”
and the value of each term is “y”
Position (x)
Value (y)

Notice the value
increases by 2, so the
first part of the rule
would be 2x
If the rule were simply 2x, then the
value for position 1 would be 2, but its
3 more. That means you add 3 to 2x to
get the next term in the sequence.

Let’s check the rule 2x + 3!
2(1) + 3 = 5; 2(2) + 3 = 7 Yes!
What is the expression for the
sequence in the table below?
Position

?
The value goes up by 5,
so its 5x. But the next
term is 1 less, so the
expression is 5x – 1!
Who uses
patterns
and
functions?
Functions are used in
business to show
costs.
For example:
Snoopytronics Inc. needs to
hire a company to monitor
employee computer
activity.
The cost is $4 for each
computer.
If we make a table of input and
output values of cost per
computer, it would look like this:
Input
(x)
output
(y)

4

Hmmm, I
wonder
what the
rule would
be…
The rule can
also be written
as an algebraic
equation, such
as y = 4x, where
y is a function
of x.
We can make a graph of this
“rule” by using the x and y as
coordinates.
y = 4x

Suppose Snoop’s band recorded a CD. They want to
make copies and sell them. They found a
recording company that charges $250 for
making a master CD and designing the art for
the cover. In addition, they charge $3 to burn
each CD. The total cost of making CD’s depends
on the number of CD’s burned.
Let c = the number of CD’s burned and
t = the total cost. What would be the rule?
Yes! The
rule would
be…
t = 3c +
250
You can also write a rule from a
graph using the coordinates!

a table!

Now,
let’s try
some
examples!
What is the
rule for the
table below?
Correct! 5x
Which equation fits
the table?
A. y = x + 15
B. y = 10x + 5
C. y = 3x + 12
D. y = 15x
What’s the
rule for
this one?
Correct!
Divide by 2,
or
y=

Snoopy is thinking of
joining a health club.
It charges a one-time
membership fee of
$30 plus a monthly
fee of $12.
Write a rule for the
total charge (y) for
the number of
months (x) Snoopy
Correct! y = 12x + 30
goes.
I need to
workout.
Now, it’s your turn to create a
real-world problem with a rule, a
matching function table, and a
coordinate graph of the rule. Write
it in your journal.
