Notice that the x-values increase by 1 as you go from each to the next.
The y-values, however, increase at a faster rate; they are each 4 times the previous value.
We can express the rule as: yi+1 = 4yi [Use this for a sequence]
or write it in terms of x: y = (1/6)(4x) [use this for y is a function of x]
