Question from Hien, a parent: How to find the pattern in this function? |
Hello Hien,
Let’s split this up for even and odd values of x.
X = |
1 |
3 |
5 |
7 |
9 |
11 |
13 |
... |
Y = |
0 |
1 |
2 |
3 |
4 |
5 |
6 |
... |
X = |
2 |
4 |
6 |
8 |
10 |
12 |
14 |
... |
Y = |
1 |
2 |
3 |
4 |
5 |
6 |
7 |
... |
Try plotting graphs for each of these tables separately. What do you get?
You can combine these two functions into one by writing the overall function as a ‘piece-wise’ function.
Write back if you need more help.
