Warm Up
Here is a table of values. The two quantities, and , are related.
What are some strategies you could use to find a relationship between and ? Brainstorm as many ways as possible.
Your answer may vary, but here are some samples:
- See if there is an operation that could be done to that would produce .
- Compare how the -values change and the -values change, and see if there is a pattern.
- See if the numbers in one column follow a special pattern and if that pattern could be connected to the numbers in the other column.
- Plot the - and -values on a coordinate plane and see if the graph looks like a familiar relationship.
