standard_description: For a function that models a relationship between two quantities, interpret key features of graphs and tables in terms of the quantities, and sketch graphs showing key features given a verbal description of the relationship. Key features include: intercepts; intervals where the function is increasing, decreasing, positive, or negative; relative maximums and minimums; symmetries; end behavior; and periodicity.
problem_activity: Task
A function machine takes an input, and based on some rule produces an output.

The tables below show some input-output pairs for different functions. For each table, describe a function rule in words that would produce the given outputs from the corresponding inputs. Then fill in the rest of the table values as inputs and outputs which are consistent with that rule.
Input values can be any English word. Output values are letters from the English alphabet.

{"table": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["regular"]}, "tbody": [{"tr": [{"th": [{"_value": "input"}], "td": [{"_value": "cat"}, {"_value": "house"}, {"_value": "you"}, {"_value": "stem"}, {"_value": "$\\ \\ \\ \\ \\ $"}, {"_value": "$\\ \\ \\ \\ \\ $"}, {"_value": "$\\ \\ \\ \\ \\ $"}]}, {"th": [{"_value": "output"}], "td": [{"_value": "t"}, {"_value": "e"}, {"_value": "u"}, {}, {"_value": "z"}, {}, {}]}]}]}]}
Input values can be any rational number. Output values can be any rational number.
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["regular"]}, "tbody": [{"tr": [{"th": [{"_value": "input"}], "td": [{"_value": "$2$"}, {"_value": "$5$"}, {"_value": "$-1.53$"}, {"_value": "$0$"}, {"_value": "$-4 $"}, {"_value": "$\\ \\ \\ \\ \\ $"}, {"_value": "$\\ \\ \\ \\ \\ $"}]}, {"th": [{"_value": "output"}], "td": [{"_value": "$7$"}, {"_value": "$10$"}, {"_value": "$3.47$"}, {"_value": "$5$"}, {}, {"_value": "$8$"}, {}]}]}]}]}
Input values can be any whole number. Output values can be any whole number.
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["regular"]}, "tbody": [{"tr": [{"th": [{"_value": "input"}], "td": [{"_value": "$1$"}, {"_value": "$2$"}, {"_value": "$3$"}, {"_value": "$4$"}, {"_value": "$5$"}, {"_value": "$6$"}, {"_value": "$7$"}]}, {"th": [{"_value": "output"}], "td": [{"_value": "$2$"}, {"_value": "$1$"}, {"_value": "$4$"}, {"_value": "$\\ \\ \\ \\ \\ $"}, {}, {}, {}]}]}]}]}
Input values can be any whole number between 1 and 365. Output values can be any month of the year.
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["regular"]}, "tbody": [{"tr": [{"th": [{"_value": "input"}], "td": [{"_value": "25"}, {"_value": "365"}, {"_value": "35"}, {"_value": "95"}, {"_value": "330"}, {"_value": "66"}, {}]}, {"th": [{"_value": "output"}], "td": [{"_value": "January"}, {"_value": "December"}, {"_value": "February"}, {"_value": "April"}, {"_value": "November"}, {"_value": "$\\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ $"}, {"_value": "October"}]}]}]}]}
For at least one of the tables, describe a second rule which fits the given pairs but ultimately produces different pairs than the first rule for the rest of the table.
