One way to look at a function is through a table of values. In this activity, you will look specifically at
tables of linear functions-functions described by
an equation of the form y = ax + b.
In particular, you will explore the relationship
between patterns in the tables of linear functions
and other aspects of these functions, especially their
algebraic form.
1. Start with the specific function f(x) = 4x + 7.
a. Create an In-Out table for fusing equally
spaced inputs.
b. Look for a pattern in the Out values.
