Math Problem Statement
Calculate the output for rules 1–5 when you use -6 as the input for each rule. Simplify fractions and express in the form a/b if necessary and use the word pi for π.
Solution
Let's calculate the outputs step by step for each rule when the input is :
Rule 1: Subtract 7
Rule 2: Square the input
Rule 3: Divide by 3
Rule 4: Divide the input into 3
Rule 5: Write
Simply replace the input with the symbol . The output is:
Rule 6: Find the volume of a cube with side length equal to the input in cm
The side length of the cube is cm. The volume of a cube is given by:
Final Outputs:
- Rule 1:
- Rule 2:
- Rule 3:
- Rule 4:
- Rule 5:
- Rule 6:

Here are 5 related questions to extend your understanding:
- How would the results change if the input were positive instead of negative?
- Why is the volume of a cube negative in this context, and does it make sense physically?
- How can fractions be expressed in simplest form when dividing?
- What is the general formula for the volume of other 3D shapes like spheres and cones?
- How is typically approximated in numerical problems?
Tip: When dealing with negative inputs, always double-check calculations with exponents and cubes to account for their effects.
